Won't Get fooled again !!
Indeed I won't get fooled again into coming back this is really tough & to keep motivating yourself day after day mile after mile - I'm phyically & even more mentally spent
The above tune by the Who came on at 8 miles & I was already struggling but just keeped going & joined Roger Daltrey for the screams !!!
My slowest so far but still sub 4 & still on target but needed a JCB out there I was having to dig so deep.
For the first time in the 7 days I walked the final hill at 25.5 miles I was just too tired to keep the legs going. I was pleased to see the line, Dipped my electronic timing chip & collapsed at the finish just needed a few minutes to feel almost human again really took it out of me today - "Ole Blue eyes" Ray O'Connor saw I was struggling so bought me a "recovery drink" an ice cold Corona & we lay out in the sun while the girls massaged us
I'm putting off the ice bath to blog, but know I have to get in there soon - ish - No pain no gain & all that.
Other potential titles were "I'm still standing" by Elton John, Broken Wings by Mr Mister - I felt really broken up just managed the energy to get the wings out for the finish & "Another one bites the dust" From Queen.
Today was a Steve Redgrave moment I said to Ogee "If you even see me thinking of entering this again - shoot me !!"
Today's champagne moment was "Ole Blue Eyes" Ray O'Connor finishing third just ahead of "The Iceman" Steve Edwards.
Keep on flying
