So, the plod is over—not only did I finish, but I'm still alive and recovering really quickly.
Did I enjoy it? No. Would I do it again? Yes! (My name is already down for 2026.)
Highlights of the day: meeting my family at the end with a cup of Assam tea! But also running through the middle of a band of drummers (loud and amazing) and doing the same through a troupe of Morris dancers (charming).
