3:31 odds for me. Absolutely delighted but that is my first and last marathon, never felt pain like that in my life, brutal stuff! Back to half maras and 10ks for me! What was BM's time?

Unreal No1...what a debut!
Marathons are no joke! Found last 5km tough going...tied but a bit but happy with result, left everything out on the course. Will tweak the training and go again...
Came home in 2.46 and a tick...
Thinking of going to durty nellys pub for after 6...panned out in hotel watching rugby now.

Well done.
In a few weeks when you've recovered and look back on it you'll be wishing to do another one I bet you!

BM that is absolutely fantastic, what a run. Well done, some athlete! Sitting at the hotel bar here watching the nations latest failure! We'll probably head into town around the same time, shoot me a PM if you want to collect that pint I owe you for all the injury advice! Once again, well done. Fantastic stuff.

Great running guys. Bm great to see you getting the time you wanted after being so unlucky with injury time out! Hard work pays off!

Gives new meaning to the shout 'c'mon - push it!'

Walt and MR, I'm only seeing your posts now. Rinty ran 3:17, he was happy enough (believe it or not)!

MR, pace was steady enough and consistent until mile 21. After that it was up and down like a hoors knickers, it was just a matter of not walking and getting finished. Nothing enjoyable about the last 4 or 5 mile.

Delighted with the time but still never doing another one!
