2013 P2P

[El Gordo]

Yes, good luck all. It's a shame we're not there, but that's life. I'll always wonder whether I'd have been OK travelling, but I know for sure there's no way I'd have been able to get up that mountain this weekend. Perhaps there'll be another chance, even if there are no other RC friends in sight to witness it.

I'll try to join you in a toast if I can get the timings right. What time will the post-race celebrations be, and what are your plans? Do you have a place in mind for an Almeria-style meal and celebratory glass or two? Gah! I've been so blinkered by recent troubles... now that I'm back on my feet I'm only now starting to actually pine for the missed trip and missed opportunity to enjoy the company of cherished running friends. Another time, amigos, another time for sure.

And a special double-thumbs-up for Suzie on her first P2P. I'm sure she'll do what she always does -- has a plan and just gets on with it while the rest of us jabber away about heroism-to-come.

So... All the best for the race, and enjoy the break in that beautiful looking place. As always, we will wait impatiently for the post-race tales.

Hurrah!!!!!
