That was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life! So hard that I can’t bear to think back to it just yet… I will have to do my full race report a bit later! So this is just a quick post to let you know that I am still alive and that I did finish. I was pretty happy with my time:
3:07:44
…not bad for my first attempt but I am going to have to come back next year and break the 3-hour mark.
Amazingly, my official result is already on the London Marathon website… here’s a link to the results:

It was an amazing experience and thanks to all those people who turned up and lent their support… despite the rain, the atmosphere was great!
Thats an excellent time for a 1st marathon well done I am sure under 3 hrs would be possible
Congrats, that is an excellent time! Very well done! I am all smiles for you.
well done!
a much better start than most!
Congrats! Hopefully I’ll be one of the thousands doing it next year
Well done mate.
