W8R2 fail?

Hey guys! How are you doing? Today I went to do my W8R2, everything was fine until the final 10 minutes when a bellyache suddenly appeared! With 8 minutes remaining I had to stop for 30 seconds to assess if I could keep running or if I should stop. I managed to finish and even added 30 seconds to compensate for the time I stopped, with pain and a huge anxiety. Did I fail this run and should repeat it or move on to the next one?

Count it as done and move on.

For the pain, think about what you were eating/drinking before the run and also consider if maybe you were going a little faster than normal. I find running flat out too close to having eaten can cause embarrassing digestive problems!  ('Nuff said!)

Rub your tum and pat your head at the same time. And move on.

Wasn't a stitch was it? Which usually goes off in a minute or 2. Sometimes a good fart sorts stamach ache.😁  you've completed the run with just a stall, so just move on..😊
