April - Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon
Eek

Phew! I had to lie down for a while after reading that. That must have been really quite painful to relive.

It's been an amazing journey for you guys, and it sounds like all that training had a suitably dramatic climax.

I honestly thought I'd read the report and wish I'd got my act together in time to go -- as originally intended. But it had the opposite effect: the description of the race made me realise that I would never have made it round before the cut-off, and probably never will, unless something radical changes.

The real killer sounds like the heat. It's hard for us to be able to prepare for that. But anyway, you got through it. A fantastic achievement that will stay with you forever.

Thanks for all the great reporting too. It's been a thrilling ride for all your armchair running companions.
