Drank beer all day rang everyone on my mobile phone and bored them to death with stupid drunken banter. Made a complete arse of myself on Facebook by typing in stupid messages all day long and ate a massive Chicken Kebab with extra chilli sauce.

Despite all this and with some help from my lovely wife i managed to get my fat arse to the start line along with 500 other runners. I felt sick,dizzy and in no fit state to go charging around the Great Orme. The race was fantastic i felt ok as we trudged up the steep first 5km’s and i finished feeling strong but knowing i gave everything.

A great day but i will never ever drink again before a race…………………………i promise!

Well chuffed with this time after the crap preparation. Everyone shot off like a bolt at the start but the first 5km is all uphill and what a bloody hill. So i held back and just plodded on in a normal sort of training mode pace. After about 4km the patience paid off and i started picking off people one by one.

The downhill bit i just let fly but i still found this quite hard going. I had a good strong finish. The best and most pleasing thing about all this was i didn’t hide at all and gave it everything i had.
