Morning all, well I'm still saying never again!!
Thanks for all the support and congratulations, it means a lot!
It was certainly an incredible experience, massive emotional ups and downs as well as physical. I didn't run well so I didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped and I never want to see Sefton Park again!! But the last 4 miles were great, I just found the zone, over took a fair few and, even though for the last 2 miles my calves were cramping up every hundred or so yards I just went through it and the finish was amazing! 4 hrs 55 and I beat my two mates so could have been worse!
My lass and my family were right by the finish line so it was fantastic to see them there, they said so many people were bursting into tears at the sight of it, one woman needed carrying across the line and a few hundred men forgot the vaseline!
One of the best feelings though was the spirit it brought out in the spectators, everyone giving so much support, strangers handing out sweets for energy, everyone trying to drag each other along, it's the way people should be all the time!
So that's my story of the day, an amazingly intense rollercoaster or agony and ecstasy!

did i forget to tell you all

ha, well I sure found out the reason that metaphor is so often used!... and the dips and turns of the Mersey tunnel could have been compared to one as well! Rollercoasters, labyrinths, big dippers and water rides... but without quite as much fun as the fair ground!!
