GSR - actually ran the lot!!!!

[Equi-geek]

So happy to see Dexy5 and Upthestanley en route - twice!!! Thanks for your amazing support. Claim to fame - we beat the wateraid portaloo (Andy) time was less than 2hr 12!!! 🥇😳😁

[telford_mike Graduate10]

Yay! Nice going! 😀👏👏👏👏👏👍

Wow Equi Geek. Well done! You are streaking ahead. How many km is that then? Looks like the weather was fab. Big cheer!

[Equi-geek Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

16.1km 😰😬😳 utterly mad! Thanks! 🙏

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Congratulations Equi-geek and pal, it was great to see you both and you did so well. You only graduated 3 months ago and you’ve just done 10 miles!!!

I’m sorry it was so hot for you today - earlier in the week it looked to be better running weather with cloud and low temps.

I hope you raised lots for your charity.

You should be so very proud of yourself. I’m so proud of what you’ve achieved and of being part of this wonderful HealthUnlocked forum.

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️👏👏👏🏅🏅🍾🥂

I hope you got to enjoy the day in Sunny Southsea before heading home

[Equi-geek Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Thank you Dexy5- that was such a boost, you really helped. it was warm but such a fabulous event and really showed off Portsmouth at its best. Feet ache, so heading home in the car now. 😘🤗

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Amazing achievement! Brilliant! That’s a looong way. 😳😀🏃‍♀️ And to meet buddies from here too. 👍👍 I don’t know if there’s anyone on here I know - would love to find out one day!

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Well done! 🙂👍 It was great wasn't it, although quite warm!☀️(I have posted on Marathon running and race support forum). You have progressed amazingly quickly and must feel so proud. Some great fancy dress costumes around the course too! 🙂

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

Well Done Sandraj39 . We probably cheered you on but didn’t know it. It was a brilliant day and well done for coping with the heat.

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy5! I am not a fan of the heat but 'it is what it is' and it was a fab day.🙂

[Equi-geek Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

Thanks Sandraj! It was warm - phew! Never run that distance before and all the training really paid off in the last 4 miles, for sure! Our splits are really consistent.

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to Equi-geek]

Yes, I passed several runners lying at the side of the road being tended by St Johns ambulance - pacing was important today in that sun.☀️

[Sadie-runs Graduate10]

Wow! Good work, Equi! I am so impressed. Love the photo, you look so very happy. 😀

[Runsome Graduate10]

Well done super job and a beautiful day for it you have excelled now treat yourself to a nice rest 😀

[David_G]

Congratulations Equi-geek! 👍👏👏 Get home, have a nice meal, a long soak in the bath and an early night. You thoroughly deserve it! 😀🏅🏆

[Crawlhome Graduate10]

That's incredible equi-geek!! Huge congratulations and enjoy a rest up.

[UpTheStanley Graduate10]

Never in doubt, Equi! You were obviously fresh as a daisy with 800m to go

Great that Dexy was able to pick you out of the 20000 in time for us to holler a little bit of encouragement.

Apparently I at least will be following in your footsteps next year , so I'm told …...

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to UpTheStanley]

😂

[Equi-geek Graduate10 in reply to UpTheStanley]

🤣👏🥇 definitely!

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to UpTheStanley]

Oh my! I remember that 800m sign .....

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

Well done Linda too. 🏃‍♀️👏👏

[Equi-geek Graduate10]

It was actually quicker than we thought - 2:06:57 🤷‍♀️😳🎉

[Ang33333]

Well done you! 😁😁🍾🍾🍾

[mountaindreamer Graduate10]

Brilliant!! Well done, EG!! And great that you saw Dexy and UTS too! 😃❤️❤️🏃‍♀️💥🏅👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Lorijay Graduate10]

Woohoo, brilliant Equi!! Huge congrats, wonderful achievement

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate10]

Fantastic!! Congratulations! Very, very well done!! 👏👏👏🏅🌟🌟🌟

[linda9389 Graduate10]

Fabulous. I saw the water aid guy too. he must've been very warm

[Equi-geek Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

Hope you had a great run! Small personal victory as I notice they didn't have my camel, Humphrey, running for WaterAid yesterday - I'd hoped to be reunited with my boy

I watched the Channel 5 coverage yesterday evening and realised the portaloo set off in white wave, so we were way behind him - halfway down green wave. Some people obviously put in some rather...ahem... aspirational finish times to get themselves on the tele!!! Mind you, we didn't catch the pirate ship and he started just in front of us. Amazing to watch the elite runners on TV, having run that ourselves as well... they were incredible!

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Equi-geek]

I still havent watched it. That will be my after work treat today. I'm still trying to process my experience of yesterday and watching it might help. I don't want to post til I've got my head sorted out 😀

[Jogunlikely]

Good job 👍💪🏃‍♀️ Congratulations xxx

[over61andstilltrying Graduate10]

Wow! Brilliant! Congratulations! And you beat the portaloo!!! You look so happy and as if you have more energy remaining. 🍾🥂🏅👏🏻😊🎉🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ After a well deserved rest, all the very best for your onward running journey.

[Equi-geek Graduate10 in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Thanks 61+ I'm only swimming this week and may do a gentle Park Run on Saturday if no aches and pains!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10]

Fantastic Equi!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽! An amazing achievement. You should be so proud. So pleased for you my fabulous VRB!! 😁😁🤩🤩❤️

[Equi-geek Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

Thanks Fabulous! I had to do a double-take on the run - thought I saw you! The other runner had a very similar hair style/length, and your relaxed and stylish gait, and even the same earphones! You were with me in spirit

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Equi-geek]

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽! I love that!! Thank you Equi!! 😍😍! Massive congratulations again!! 🤩🤩❤️

[Equi-geek Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

Cheers Fabulous! Hope to see you again soon x

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Equi-geek]

I hope to return for a park run soon. A Saturday run with company would be lovely!! 😁❤️

[Slinkymalinki Graduate10]

Huge congratulations! I am in awe of you & inspired - although it'll take me a while to get that far! Glad you had such a great run & time. Have a lovely week recovering and feeling proud. 👏🏅🏃‍♀️

[Equi-geek Graduate10 in reply to Slinkymalinki]
