High Peak Marathon

[GeoffB]

Thanks and well done everyone - lots of thanks to the organisers and marshalls again, they do a fantastic job. Marko managed to evade the bogmonster this year but unfortunately a bog trashed Julien's knee when he went in it and the top half of him carried on. By Kinder he was suffering badly with it and we lost a lot of time but he rallied and we were dead chuffed to hold our position with Haf Man Half Totley bearing down on us!

Well done guys. I hadn't realised Julien had injured himself. I'm sure he'll be fine, though - he's a tough old bugger!

Especially well done to Double Dee - we drafted him in to our team on Thursday afternoon. His recent training had only been 6 mile runs at the most, but we still managed to get round in just over 11 hours.

Sorry, almost forgot - thanks to all the brilliant marshals. The pizza at Swains Head was the best. Why on earth anyone wants to sit at one of those control points all night long is beyond me!
