    Massive congrats on finishing it in spite of the back pain. I hope you're on the mend soon. Very tough day at the office, you were extremely unlucky with the conditions.

    Not to add salt to your wounds but.... according to Meno you were pipped you at the post, by Finn, is this true?;) You'll have to come back out to Killiney and run some of those hills so we can sort that out:)

    Not a bother. I was more than thrilled to be finishing with you . :D

    Wouldn't have made the Donadea 50 cutoff though. Think I was about 5:03 at the 50k mark.

    Just discovered what a pull buoy was. I thought it was like a bucket on a rope that you pulled behind you .:oWas mightily impressed that you could swim so far with such drag.:D

    well done though, on the Carol Vordeman maths on the go with the stopwatch.
