Great West Run, post 3

Finished in 2:12:28 according to my watch - official time to follow. The Freudian slip of "great west rub" was apt as my shorts rubbed through resulting in grim chafing; a quick stop at a St. John's tent for some vaz made it bearable for the last 4 miles. The tap didn't beat me, but a rabbit did - a rabbit worn by an Army PT instructor though so not too embarrassing!

Same sugar profile as a century ride - last leg was done on pure candy.

TEN MINUTES OFF MY TIME! WOO-FUCKING-HOO!

Now I'm enjoying a guilt-free 99 flake waiting for the car park to empty ... here's the proof:

good time fella! I'm doing the Stratford-upon-avon one with xeeny on Sunday (note, not challenging him, maybe one day when I stop smoking). I like the meadls surprisingly weighty.

Good luck to both of you! Stratford, if I remember rightly, has plenty of after-race pubs :)
