West Highland Way Race

8 months of training, 1 race, 95 miles, 14000 feet of climb, 1am start, 9.20pm finish. Hot conditions and 20 odd hours of headwind made the race just that little bit more testing, but everything came together on the day. My two support crews were fantastic and my low moments were very few and not that low!
Without doubt, the best run of my life! Came 15th in a time of 20 hours and 20 mins.
VERY stiff but no major damage (stairs are not something I look forward to at the moment).
The "high" should pass in the next month or so but I've got to get through a session on John's physio table tomorrow which could bring me down to earth with a bump!!!!!
