luck on the day

[glaconman]

Suzie;

Well done on a difficult day.

(Based on my limited experience) I think perhaps there's always an element of the unknown with a marathon, however much we prepare; even with professional athletes. Without this it's doubtful that there would be the same amount of excitement and anticipation beforehand.

The fact that you faced extreme difficulty and kept going is to your immense credit.

I wonder if chasing times in shorter events can replace the challenge you clearly relish.
