Marathon De Paris - 30e Edition
Eek

Bravo, Sweder. Fantastic, breathless race; Fantastic, breathless report. I feel I've just done it all over again. Crazily, I wan't too far off your pace for the first half of the race. The difference is that you were able to sustain the effort - perhaps even running a negative split second half, or near to it, while I went to pieces midway but just hung on to get what I wanted.

No doubt I'll come back to your report and want to discuss it further, but for the moment, just a hearty "Well done".

I've just got back from Zurich - half an hour ago. I made a bunch of notes last Sunday evening, still drenched, in my cups, so it might not be quite so upbeat as yours. But I'll have a tilt at starting a report tomorrow, and see if I can get it finished over the weekend.

Have a drink on me, and savour the achievement further. But I definitely won't be stumping up "to purchase a few cases [of Ch Margaux 2005] on my next visit to the region". Crikey mate, you're talking well into a four figure sum per case ex-VAT! But yes, it is said to be a staggering vintage.

Anyway, once again, very well done.

Great things are done when men and mountains meet.
