Well done for getting round despite tummy problem.

Well done for doing the GSR Beccym. I hope you enjoyed the atmosphere and cooler weather despite your time. (Which I would love to have achieved)

Ooh, tummy cramps are not nice, poor you - but great job on finishing in a very decent time. Your pre-race nutrition could possibly have been improved slightly, but I'd say your main mistake was doing it too fast last time 😂

Well done Beccym. There was quite a HU turnout it seems. What a great event - and well done on your time, slower than last near or not it was still great! 🎉

Well done for getting round. My brother-in-law had similar. He had recently returned from India where it hadn't only been his legs doing the running!

Although 3-4 days later, it was probably too soon to run the race, but he'd already paid up and booked his Air BNB. However, looking at his time you did beat him by around 20minutes!

Ooh never great to have tummy cramps, a runners nightmare. Well done on running through the cramps in that time, that is amazing!
