Looby Loo Mar 2024 2:11pm, 18 Mar 2024 4,069 posts	Quote Pin Looby Loo Thanks it was my first one in 12 years. I’ve trained for several and not done them so feel pretty pleased to have finished this one. I ran with the sub 5 pacer for about 18 miles but couldn’t quite hold on over the last few miles.

About This Thread

Maintained by minardi

We've all seen the sub 3hr, sub 4hr, sub 4.30hr threads and looked on in awe. I'm now at the age when I'm happy just to see the finish line, regardless of time taken.

So this is a thread to celebrate the finish line, not the finish time.

All welcome!
