All I can say was that I was glad to finish! I felt brilliant for the first two hours, the weather was amazing, then I ran out of water and had a pretty dodgy half an hour or so until the first water station. I probably had a bit of heat stroke as I suffered with stomach cramps for the next two hours and have vowed never to eat another jelly baby in my life. I was told at pen-y-pass that I didn't look good, which obviously is the last think you want to hear, but managed to stuff a mars bar down and get on it. I found the crowds on the PYG track manageable and basically treated it like a day out in Paris (look down keep on walking, barge them out of the way if they don't move).

I was more than an hour over my target time, but I've got to admit it felt good just to finish this one.
