Cracked the bastard, as Ed Hillary might had said, in 5:22 - would have been well under my 5-hour target if my left knee hadn't started giving me gyp at the 17-mile mark (never a hint of it in 1000+ kilometres of training). Was worried I may have had to pull out but conscience wouldn't allow it! Nursed the knee - and me - round the rest of the course alternatively walking and jogging. So have the medal!
Many thanks to those who have already contributed to the Wellington Branch of the Cancer Society but there's still time to pop in a few $ into my Givealittle page if the budget and probably family, friends and colleagues doing a million other things haven't cleaned you out first.
