12barDavid Mar 2018 7:10pm, 10 Mar 2018 105 posts	0 12barDavid First of all, many thanks to all the Fetchies who came & sought me out before the race. It was nice to meet you all. Apologies if I seemed a bit reserved. I’m afraid that even with my hearing aids in, I still miss big chunks of conversations. Hence my wife does all the talking & then fills me in with what was said afterwards. The volunteers were absolutely brilliant. I know I shouldn’t single anyone out, but there was a lady at the 1/4 & 3/4 checkpoints who must have been tipped off about my deafness. She couldn’t do enough for me & enquired on more than one occasion about my wellbeing. Luckily I managed to lipread some of what she was saying. As to the race itself, in a perverse sort of way, I thoroughly enjoyed it. In the last 5 miles, I must admit I was starting to feel the cold. Commiserations to all those who didn’t finish. Finally, another apology. We won’t be coming to the party at the Station Hotel in Stonehaven. I fear a sleep on the settee is beckoning. Let’s face, I’m not getting any younger.

I was genuinely a bit worries about the cold and wet. Especially at CP3 where its exposed and my certain knowledge that I would be walk/running a bit thereafter. I have packed based on the weather report the previous evening - which was a lot better than the actual amount of rain. Now Im off to the pub.
