There does seem to have been a great number of success stories this year and congrats to all however and I'm certainly not having a go at ST but surely if you line up at the start and you don't complete for what ever reason you have been unsuccessful Not a failure!!
Speaking personally to have trained so hard for so long and seen a big improvement in my distance and hill ability only to be considered a failure seems a bit harsh.

Or am I being too PC...

Running (no pun intended) out of time for an attempt this year but will be back next year.
