This was supposed to be happening last year, but circumstances meant we had to defer to this year........so we got an extra year to train......sort of......#wewillneverlearn

First up, I can’t promise that either of us are going to win. Important to be honest at the outset! Lack of athletic prowess aside, it has been so hard to get those long runs in, thanks to several Beasts from the East - a herd, no less - and various injuries between us.....let’s just say we’ve helped the local Physio industry quite considerably. But! We will be there on the start line and give it the best effort we can. Personally, if I can cross the finish line without (overly)limping or crying, and without having vomit streaks down the front of my vest, I’ll take it as a victory. It has been neither fun nor easy, but we are looking forward to the experience - the good, the bad and the ugly - as well as the post-race pint. Lovely.
