Marathon II

Settling nicely into my post–marathon aches and pains. I think the cold water bath I took after the race has spared me the worst in that regard, although it took me a while to relocate my undercarriage after 15 minutes in there. Also settling nicely into the sense of achievement at getting round mixed with the anti–climax you get when you’ve been aiming at something for so long, it’s over and suddenly, your focus is gone. Still, it was a great day; I enjoyed it thoroughly (yes, even while doing it!). So much so, in fact, that I’d definitely think about doing another one, notwithstanding what I said during the cold, dark periods of Winter training.

Incidentally, on the marathon front, banderama kept this quiet. An impressive 02:52:30 finish, as well. (Picture spotted on www.photoos.net).
