It took me 4 hours and 15 minutes - quite slow but I was working on time in the seat rather than speed. Actually I have been pretty careless with my nutrition - plus dehydrated. You have a very good point and I'll need to fix that. I think another part of this problem is psychological - right now I'm struggling internally because I'm afraid of what I'm heading into. There's no going back now. It's not the physical exertion - it's doing this in front of so many people. What if I fail to finish? What if I cry? What if I puke? What if nobody shows up? I've got a thousand doubts and fears rolling through my consciousness and I'm fighting them off as they come at me. But I've faced this internal struggle before. So it's not a surprise. I'm going to win. Thanks for your comments! Thanks Peter. It took me 4 hours and 15 minutes – quite slow but I was working on time in the seat rather than speed.
