Morning Mike

Oh flippin eck! That’s frustrating but 19 miles Though! It was so hot and humid wasn’t it. I was worrying about you all, the ultra peeps,and the dogs doing the HM, and thanking my lucky stars I was only doing 10k. I wondered at one point if I was in the right line-up as I couldn’t find Murph. I thought mayne I was in the 5k field, and thinking well if I am i’m Quite pleased 😁

It is disappointing but you can only do what you can do. Today wasn’t your day but there’ll be other days 💪👍🏃‍♂️🙂

Importantly, are you ok now?

I'm sorry you're pissed off, but I wouldn't consider that a failure. Okay, you didn't finish, but you did 19 miles and your legs went. That's not a failure in my book. That's a physical problem.

As Wobble says, are you okay now? That's the main thing.
