Desmo, will post pictures of anything the website has & whatever my girlfriend takes at the race. Just been told a couple of my mates are doing it as well after being inspired by me. Dressed like Braveheart! Safe to say they'll be a few minutes behind me!

Well, I did it! I got absolutely caked in mud, river clay & possibly the snot of other competitors but I did it! Think I did about 45 minutes roughly, set off at 12.30 and when my gf took my medal photo it was almost 1.15.
At the time of writing I have smashed my target by raising £301! Heres a few pics my gf took along with our Anniversary pics which was the same day as the race! http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...2853935&type=3 Thanks everyone who sponsored me, page is still open if you're feeling generous! http://www.justgiving.com/John-Heron---Papa
