Somehow struggled to the end in a personal worst of 2:51.

In retrospect, running around Annapurna a week or so before, without eating any proper food wasn't the ideal preparation.
Hi Chris, played 5-a-side with the young lads at work (I know, I know) and got up-ended about 10 days ago. Wrecked both knees.

Set off on Saturday and was ok until ckpt 1. As soon as I started on the flat across the top my knee started hurting big-style so sacked it.

Clive wasn't running as he'd already secured the Bowland championship

Running around Annapurna sounds good.

Cheers, Ali
