Ich bin ein Hamburger

[El Gordo]

Thanks for your comments, guys.

I was pretty disappointed at the time, to be honest, but a good night's sleep on top of a massive plate of previously verboten meat and chips, with a few very large glasses of beer, and somehow it all seems more palatable.

I got round, got a PB, and I learnt some new things to help me do better next time, and that's enough to be going on with. Make no mistake, Hamburg is a truly great urban marathon, and it's been a privilege to have done it. Fab city - well worth a visit.

I'm trying not to think about running just at the moment. I need to empty this one out before I start the next bit. Another day or two of R 'n' R first though.

Once again, thanks for the encouragement along the way, and the kind words now. It really does make a difference, and it's greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Andy (and M).
