Loch Ness Marathon - Sunday 2 October 2005
I decided to pass on Nessie - went out for a Sunday morning lope across the Sussex downs and encountered several hundred thousand flies. Not having run in the Fly Season before I hadn't given the little sods much thought. My experience of lakeside Scotland is they have a global supply of midges. Sadly these critters seem to quaff my blood like good champagne, and whilst I'd love to lose weight I can't imagine running a marathon wilst donating several pints of the stuff . . .
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
