Well, the provisional results are in. My time is officially 2:47:14 and I came 434th out of 1670 finishers. I don’t feel so bad about that. The winning time was a regular Tough Guy runner who finished in 1:37:42 (and I believe that he went on to do the Last Man Standing too.) The final finisher came in with a time of 4:43:36.

There were, apparently, about 2500 entrants. Some definitely didn’t finish and others may have only done the first lap. The important think, though, is that they had a go.

I feel better about this. I was feeling stunningly unfit because so many people had passed me (and yes, I know I keep saying it wasn’t a race but what can you do - I had a number on my chest and running shoes on my feet!) But the fact is that I managed to come in the top quarter(ish) of the finishers.
