* '...So much here I can identify with, Fiona...<br /><br />* 'I run no ones pace but my own.'<br />* The Beech Tree floodlight (yes, I found that difficult as well).<br />* The 'path of a thousand gates' (nuff said).<br />* The checkpoint cut-off times, which I've always felt to be (perhaps reasonably) geared to relieving marshals rather than encouraging sensibly even pace (and you know how I feel about that).<br />* 'I will always either walk or run through' (so my golden rules are 'don't stop' and 'don't sit down' and I stayed on my feet from start to finish this year).<br /><br />And some other stuff I don't really get...<br /><br />* White shoes (most unsuitable colour available)!<br />* Doing the race because that's 'what you do'.<br />* Next year's diary.<br /><br />But thank goodness we're all different despite sharing the lunacy that leads us into these things, and this report is absolutely first class, entertaining, informative stuff! :-)Peter Dugganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16785384885138013463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475346168209566942.post-13572609742279100322011-07-04T07:27:15.754+00:002011-07-04T07:27:15.754+00:00Yours is always my favourite blog to read.
