And you couldn't have written a better ending to a film than Mouldy's finish.
Keeping us all in suspenders wondering if you would meet the cutoff and yes, 15 minutes before this time she appears.
Phew! More teary than the film "Lassie Come Home"
Well done girl. You should be soooooooo proud of yourself.
Just to get there takes determination and commitment to training, (in spite of protestations that pirates don't train), so well done. I hope the DNFs are as proud of themselves as we are.
It was a fantastic and very exciting day yesterday - I thank you all.
To the racing snakes who finished in daylight.
To those who gritted their teeth and slogged on to the end.
To those who made the startline but not the finish - but still supported their teammates despite their disappointment.
To the supporters who really kept the Pirate profile high.
To you lot for keeping everyone up to date.
And speshully for Her Iron Meldyness, cos she's a star!!!!!
Congrats to all who finished, commiserations to those who didn't (been there, done that and know how it feels!) - better luck next year. Meldy and Squishy, very well done after all that hard work training.
And super times rom our fast guys - what stars you all are!
Thanks to Jj and Bassey for playing messenger
everyone involved is a star and I am in awe of you all
and to see Meldy's smiling face as she finished - priceless :-)
(((Pirates))))
Meldy, congrats!! That's a hard push to get round a mara in 6h after 10h of exercise already.
Congrats to all of you. Woohoo, a load more IronPirates! Altogther now... AHAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gumps and Petal should've defo been fine. I'm surprised by Fstar. DD, not injured again was he?
Gutted for anyone who didn't make it.-
I know DDave didn't have the best of build ups with injuries and bike dramas.- but I really thought he'd make it this year.
The guy loves his bike
Well done to all the Iron pirates.
Big big big congrats to everyone
Commiserations to those who didn't get round
But remember these words (which came from the Penguin Chronicles one month)
The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start.
Well done everyone. Nice quote in post above pretty much sums it up for me.
Well, I don't know about all these Iron Peeps, but I'm exhausted having just read the thread.
I'll need to stock up on gels before the reports start to come in.
Well done the Pirates, and all the new ironmen and women.
Mr M was first pirate home
CRAB was first novice
RichM got his sub 10
FS, DD, Petal and Gumps dnf
Meldy floated home on the love of the entire world, it seemed.
and 30-odd others finished.
