An Indian Taper

[glaconman]

Chaps;

Thanks very much for all your support and comments pre-race.

I'd gone to the cyber cafe shortly after the race but received some terrible news about a close friend, so my full report will have to wait a wee while.

But the short of it is this: the marathon itself was a tremendous experience. I didn't have it all my own way. I ran the first 10k in a controlled fashion but then got carried away and turned up the heat. By 35k I started to run into trouble as the heat of the day set in. I ran/staggered/walked for a couple of kilometers before finding my feet to run strongly to the end.

This must be the story of most first marathons I imagine.

Thanks again, and more later.
