Hi everyone, I completed my HM this morning in and around Bognor RegisπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ It was warmer than I’d expected πŸ₯΅ particularly towards the end so my hydration vestπŸ’¦ was nearly empty when I finished!

I had an unexpected excursion at 14K to help up an old lady who’d fallen over😳 Luckily she was unhurtπŸ‘

Time is largely irrelevant but for the record I finished in 2:32:57πŸ™‚ Oh, and it’s another 13.13 miles towards John O’Groats too!😊

Thanks Linda9389. Probably a little too warm at the endπŸ₯΅ if I’m honest, but it didn’t start out that way!😨

We couldn't decide which we preferred on Sunday - the rain/mud or the heat we had 2 weeks earlier. On balance I was less tired in the rain, but it had been in the 20s for the warm run and that's too warm for me!

Thanks Irishprincess, there was a chap looking over the garden wall at her but he was old too, so he couldn’t helpπŸ˜• I ran into the garden, lifted her to her feet and checked she was ok. Then I gave her a wave πŸ‘‹ and went on my merry wayπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

Fantastic effort David_G ! And you included being a Good Samaritan too! πŸ˜‡ πŸ‘πŸ‘Š

Good to hear about your hydration vest usage. I haven’t used mine yet this time round, and I was wondering whether my belt/2 small bottles would be adequate for my virtual HUHM next week. It was fine for 10 miles. Your post has made me realise I’ll need the vest thought - so thanks! πŸ˜…

David_G profile image
David_GMetric Marathonβ€’ in reply tocheekychipmunks

Thanks cheekychipmunks! I think the belt was needed because it was so warm yesterday. I’m not sure it would be needed today and I could have got away with 2 bottles. I suppose it’s down to personal preference and weather on the day. Having said that, I’d prefer to have too much than too little water! πŸ’¦πŸ™‚

Well done on your HM David_G , and you even managed to transform to Superman during the run.

I’m sure you’d rather have been running yesterday than on Sunday.
