I acheived a lifetimes ambition yesterday, and completed the FLM.
My time, 6 hrs 52. Not exactly Paula, but I got round which was all I wanted. I'm proud of myself, and pleased to have got around in one piece. I enjoyed every minute (well maybe not the final 30 mins!) The support was fantastic, all the way around, It was a fabulous day. Well done everyone!!!!!!
But FLM, please make sure you have enough water for everyone, us slow coaches probably need it the most.

Gonna do it again?
And thank you to Patty who called my name out and spurred me on just after the half way point.
Congrats on a fasntastic achievement :-)
All in all you would have spent almost 8 hours on ypur feet, what with standing around at the start and a bit of fiddling around at the end.
Remembering my 5hrs 17min last year i understand and appreciate the length of time us slower runners spend on or feet.!!
My brother-in-law finished his 1st in 6:37
My friend finished in 6:26
I fininshed in 4:58:32
So well done to all us 1st time tortoises
Fantastic
Great
SuperDuper
Well Done. You sound as high as I am!!!
No doubt about it. See you in 2004 FLM
And to the Mighty Bunzoola too
I had on a pale blue wateraid vest, but my most feature was my husband who was dressed as a toilet, what were you wearing?
Benz,
How did you get on?
Sorry, it might be a 10 min pb, but I really trained this time, so gutted
But wasnt it a great day!!!!!!!!!!
And...I too am a slow coach! I did my first London Marathon in 2002 and it took me 7hrs 47mins! After having to walk alot of the way with horrible injuries. The next time I did it (2002) I finished in 6hrs 2 mins. Which would have been 5 Hrs 20mins if I had'nt have to stop at St Johns for ages! So next year...Expect it to be easier! Go for it.
I am ridiculously proud of myself and EVERYONE, especially us 1st timers...
But is it always that hot!!!
Well done, you complete star!
Maybe next year???
