I am going to take the kids to the cinema (to see Rio) and might not get back on tonight. I will be watching it in the morning and thinking of you all.
He paints his face half blue braveheart style in an attempt to inspire and puts saddle on the dog and then climbing on, to which the dog yelps...

Good luck everyone
race (7more) is flying around the course...
Silburbas is consistently plugging away....
Karen is going well.....
Trig at the moment is on track for 5:03 come on trigger...
Big sigh of relief now that you are all back across the line. So nervous for you all and I can't wait to hear how it went. Hope you all enjoyed the day
In the car back to Bristol now.
Across the line in 5h52ish so a PB at least.
Had the worse preparation at the start as due to train work so arrived after the starting gun went! So no time to warm up prepare kit etc and use vasaline.
Will submit full report tmr, wife need help directions.....
Well done everyone else too.
soooo happy to cross the line. The sun was relentless, I really felt like giving up at about mile 21...then to my amazement, the runners world pace maker for 4.48 (sub 5 11 min minutes) ran past me so I kept with him for 2 miles. After that I dropped off and decided to do a walk, run until the end to get within the 5 hours, which was my ultimate goal, didn't feel like killing myself to get 10 minutes faster.
The crowds were thick all the way round the course! Just so much support.
Well done everyone, I had had an amazing day, will post pictures and race report tomorrow. It really was as special as I thought it would be, and my nephew was just so chilled out, he gave me a huge smile at the end, and I burst into tears
I had just got back from a long train journey (as my dad managed to lock his keys in the car so we couldn't get home - yes, just what I need after running a marathon). But we went to the Hard Rock Cafe and had a nice beer and burger...
O Matt - I saw Pete (sub 3 Paris) in the crowd - I shouted his name and wanted to congratulate him but he kinda looked at me and probably thought "who the hell are you?" lol! But I was in my stride by that point. I think I was a bit surprised to see someone who looked familar, apart from Denise Lewis of course!!! woweeee that was cool!!!!
Look forward to hearing about it all- rest easy with some beers
That moment with your nephew sounds so special and one to cherish
I'll pass on to Pete about his celebrity status
Well done again your a star!
I actually feel still have energy in me just could not run faster. My dad who flew from France had a pint with me after the finish!
Well done 7moremiles excellent run. Now hitting the sack and thank goodness booked annual leave tmr! So plenty time to do the report.
See y'all in the morning
Trig great going for the pb!
