Well done on finishing the course.
4 hours dead wearing one of those giant MrBlobby outfits is well respectable....

After only ten miles I knew that I was going to struggle. It was hot, but I think the humidity was the killer.
Had to resort to run-walking for part of it.
I'm really disappointed as my training had gone well, I was well rested and had eaten well - so the groundwork was all there. I struggled last time with the heat, but not like I did today. Last time when I crossed the finish line I knew I would be running it again. After today, I don't have that same desire, but we'll see.
Thanks again for all the support and for the generous sponsorship donations.
I've got a 10k in a fortnight and that's on the course the tr24 will be taking place on in July. Sure looking forward to that at the moment

4 hours dead according to os
Couldn't have done that if I'd tried! Needed a sprint down the Mall as well to do that.

your splits look like you started to slow as soon as the sun came out about 11.40. not surprised, I did 13 miles round east london this morning, lovely conditions most of the way and then the sun appeared and killed me for the last 5k
Was pretty brutal. Once I got tto about 16 miles I stopped looking at my time. My Garmin lost the satellites for about a mile near Canary Wharf, and I knew all my targets were well out of reach.
The crowds were brilliant though, shouting words of encouragement to anyone who was flagging. They were shouting me on a lot.

The marathon is an old person's event.
Felt a bit inadequate running alongside a bloke in his 60s who had something on his back saying he'd just completed the Marathon des Sables only last week!
Here's me complaining about it being 20°!

Well done Kin, there were plenty of others who suffered today, Kebede really struggled along with umpteen thousand others. Thats why I find the whole sub 2 hour marathon hard to comprehend. So many pieces of the jigsaw have to fall into place on the day.
If the marathon doesn't hold the future appeal, think of entering the MDS, or another multi day event. I completed it in 2009 and found the whole experience absolutley amazing. Enjoy your rest period.

Very well done, Daniel.
I'm afraid I've not followed the thread much, time & all that, but can you tell me how much money for the NSPCC your efforts helped to raise?

I'll need to check, but including gift aid, I think it's about £1,100. The vast majority of that is from blondes.
You can click on the link in my sig to see the donation page. I've got to add £40 from Ray onto that as well.
