Fair play Anto - some man

Solid running Anto, you looked comfortable on each loop. Well done on a great race.

Wow. And just when I thought I had seen it all from you. Very well done. Your engine may purr like a Toyotal Corolla, but apparently it performs like a Ferrari or Lamborghini. Bravo!!!

sat portumna 100k.....had no real plan for this race other than as long trainin run for oxford in 8 weeks,i had 10hrs in my head as mrs um1 was goin out on d raz and i had to be home for 9:30,and recent trainin runs pointed to it also,so plan was easi warm up for an hour and try and keep to just under 29 mins per 5k for as long as i could while keepin h/r under 75%.At 20 odd miles the 30 mile pain came so took a couple of pain killers and they seemed to do the trick, passed mara point at 4hrs,and was still keepin ahead of plan,did d second mara in 4hrs 8 mins,so i knew the sub 10 was still on if i didnt feck it up ,hit a bit of a troughf at this point,but the 3:45 mara pacers caught me on their final lap so stuck with them for a km and got back on track, knew if i could get to 10k left with an hour to go i would sorted,got to 5 km with 35 mins left and had a stomach moment so had to go jax(just givin eammo some more practice at crewing),and losin a bit of time.this lap was the only time i was under pressure untli i hit the last km marker and den i knew mrs um1 would make her dinner date,,,happy enuf to finish in one piece,with a spartatlon qualifier in the bag;) and a 7th place finish.....nice to run with the usual gang and meet a few new faces,tanks to mr stew for movin me bag,defo saved me a good few mins,eammo for bringing me to the jax,and any one who shouted abuse at me

First of all, Outstanding Result. You're got schizophrenic running, you are a different person out training and racing. I've seen you hit lows on the training and then power through races (the complete opposite to me)

Secondly, When I was out running today, I was wondering if I should just knock the pace display off the Garmin and just run within the recovery rate (around 75%) each day for the 10in10 to keep the stress on the muscles to a minimum, do you think that's a good idea?

Third, I think I'm well seasoned to your emergency toilet breaks, so there's nothing to shock me now

Fourth - Spartatalon qualifier???? Available for Crewing duties.... I can provide references.... Just saying, like.
