marathon

7 hours of minigolf, a 3.5 hour journey back, not getting in until 1AM, a Mcdonalds evening meal and just five hours sleep are probably not ideal preparations on the day before a marathon.



But the run went well. Conditions were good and I really enjoyed the first half of the marathon then it got much harder. The final 7 miles were horrible. But it’s done now. I finished in 3 hours, 42 minutes and 4 seconds.



See you all soon.

Super run Michael, welcome to the sub -4 club!

Well done Michael, absolutely hammered me...

Seemed like a very hot and humid day to be running a marathon too, congratulations

Congratulations Michael on a great achievement and a very good time for a first marathon.

I trust you will have recovered in time for the WAGM

Thank you all for your kind words.



I’ve just got so much respect for anyone who has ever completed a marathon, especially a first time marathon because you need so much willpower and mental strength in those last few miles. I think got incredibly lucky to get the time I did, especially with the awful preparation.



Adam – Your time was phenomenal. It’s unfair to compare it to anyone else’s. Just to finish when you’re so young and your body is still growing was a fantastic achievement.



I’m expecting to be a little stiff for a few days but mentally I feel fresh and will be 100% ready to go on Wednesday Morning.
