My wife's doing it for the first (and hopefully last) time. She's hoping for a sub-4hr time which should be possible as she did 21 miles in 3hr5.

If anyone fancies meeting up for a pint somewhere on the course I'll have a few hours to kill

Our lass is doing it and I'll be in a pub in London cheering her on.

All in the name of the Douglas Macmillan Hospice - v good cause!

The wife did 4:20, and is rightly very chuffed. She is also very very stiff.

To all those who took part, but I still think you're all mad.

I reckon she'd have broken four hours if she hadn't stopped for a shit

I did suggest a nappy would save time, but she thought the chaffage would be a problem
