Behave you lot...........
..........so where wos I?
I think we were at the Scalettapass...and just about to head on down ahead of Andy Dixon of Runners World.
We'd walked this section earlier in the week and had part run it then so we knew what the terrain would be like...a bit stoney but generally not to bad underfootIt was 4.3k to our next feed station...well there was one before that but I bullied SWMBO into not stopping there for more than a mo. We ran down quite well and when we reached Durrboden leaving 14.3k to go I thought we may just get home at the quicker end of my estimate.
The steep downhills had now ended and we were on the mainly downhill final stretch home....should have been easy but it was this section that SWMBO really struggled on. It was an undulating few miles and the few ups and flat sections got to SWMBO resulting in several stops and walks...all very frustrating but thtat's marathons for you...especially this one!
Eventualy we reached the timber merchants were we knew there would be a number of the other group members waiting to support us...having either not run earlier..like Mike Gratton...or having finished one of the other races such as the C42,C31 or K21. The photo opportunity having been taken we ran up...yes up again!!!!!....into through the wood for what seemed like an age before coming down and into the town of Davos.
Looking good...well trying to anyway..we made it into the stadium...had our names pronounced and finally crossed the line together holding hands........well I had to , SWMBO grabbed my hand and, as you know, she has to be obeyed.....in 6hours 35mins.
The time didn't really matter...it was 35mins slower than aimed for at best but just 5mins outside the 6hours 30...and it included all the stops/photos.
As we were returning from picking up our kit we met Andy Dixon once more...we'd got in before him...RF1 RW0!!
Would I do it again. Yep for sure.
Would SWMBO. Nope.
Any questions?!

What a great race report, well done both of you.
If you did it again would you be happy to do it on your own?

Why was the leader of the daleks making you run? Was his exterminator not working?

Well done to both of you, a great achievement.
Did Mike Gratton "bottle it" when he saw you turn up, or had he no intention of running?

Cheers HF.
I'd like to think Mike saw the opposition and left us to take the glory but..........
......btw he's put a pound on since his running peak!!
