Run > Race

Oh my god that was the hottest run ever! At the 5k point i saw a man being worked on by paramedics, they were using the defibrilator on him, hope he made it.

I knew straight away that i wasn't going to manage any where near a PB so decided just to jog it and try to have fun. The water stops were absolute chaos with banana and orange peel making it slippy. Pedestrians kept on walking onto the course and banging into runners and even blokes on bikes and rollerblades were on the course!!! Also, french people kept on stopping to walk in the middle of the bloody road instead of keeping to the sides!

All in all though it was a really good day. It would be a really fast course if the organisation was better. My fiance and my mum both completed it too in just over 5 hours which made it a really special race. Sadly i couldn't stomach any wine at the 3 wine stops which is very unlike me. At one point i thought they were dishing out energy drinks, but it turned out to be cider and i nearly threw up! Back home now and my legs feel great - hardly stiff at all!! Ross is walking down stairs backwards though.
