    Is there anyone doing this going for drinks after? Last year there was a great Tri table (may have been magnified because Dory was over) in McGrattans, and it was good fun. Anyone going again?

    He did. But we have inly done one run race together and that was last month half in the park.

    We might run together tomoro till he drops me. Wont be foolish enough to try and stick tho. I know my limitatons.

    If only i could drop a 3.8k swim and 180k bike in front of the run i might stand a chance!!

    Ouch, that didn't last. Looks like a tough day out there for Dave, but he's probably too stubborn not to battle on to the finish.

    4: 20 now on the clock. He's either walked off the course, collapsed...or by god he's still soldiering on.

    Yes I went off too fast. I expected to blow about 30km.

    Instead my ITB went at 19km, I tried to alter my gait to compensate but in the end had to hobble like an old man once both knees went.

    Great support on the course much more than my last one eight years ago.

    New course though.... Too tight and twisty in the first three miles.

    Another sufferfest, albeit one with much more reflection on who I am and what I need to do to be the father and husband I want to be.

    Tough, tough day out there today. Ran down to 10.5 miles and thought 'bloody hell am I glad I'm not doing a marathon today'

    Warm and windy. Not the best marathon conditions. Didn't talk to many today who hit their target, many about 10 mins out!

    Dave you're one stubborn bastard. Was actually looking out for you at the 3 hour mark, expected you to pop up before Tango!
