And it's over...
I completed it this year in 1 hour, 40 minutes, which is approximately 30 minutes faster than last year. The attempt was indeed a jog-walk-jog-walk-shuffle-shuffle-sprint-walk-walk-jog-walk kind of effort. I want to go better again next year, and I figure to do that, I'll have to improve on my people dodging skills. I at least crossed the start line in only 15 minutes this year (took me 30 minutes last time.. though this year, as well as last, I didn't start counting my time till I'd crossed the line). And there were apparently 40,000 participants this year! There were only 20,000 last year! So who wants to start training with me for next year?
Also, thank you to everyone who gave their support this year. I managed to raise E325 this year for
Arthritis Ireland. Thank you!
My feet hurt...
