Just got back from W5R2....nailed it!!! For the first time I was glad when Michael told me I was half way...I thought "Really??? 4 minutes & I'm ok??!!!"...admittedly I the 5 min rest was appreciated but I was ready after about 3 of those minutes to set off again but I didn't..the next 8 minutes flew by...I was totally in 'the zone'...singing along to my tracks...I feel sorry for the people I meet again today because that silly smug smile will be adorning my raspberry face again today!!!

Glad to see people at exactly the same stage as each other. I'm one run behind you. Doing W5R2 on Saturday morning. Was huffing and puffing half way round today but got it done. The second half always seems much easier somehow, must be because it's downhill or flat maybe. Keep up the singing, I was talking out loud today to Michael too. He was very chatty:)!!
