loved it.
started in wave 2 (15 minute intervals) and took it easy for first hay bale wall. Over that without damaging any ankles, then picked up a few places up to trent bridge. By 2nd obstacle about 10 in front of me - through some scaffolding stuff and over a 6 foot wall. Long slog to Holme Pierrepoint and the army assault course - picked off about another 4-5. Through the assault course with ease and up to the river in the top 3. through the water and I think I am first in my wave, but running through the back of the previous wave so hard to tell. caught beth by about 7k, oushed on through sewage tunnels and burned out cars to the city ground and up and down their steps. 2 guys came back past me just before then so clung onto their tails.
Wall of fear was just that - needed a leg up unfortunately but good sprint to the finish!!
Knew I must have done well as top 3 in my wave and 9 waves - so really pleased with 34th out of 2500 finishers.
Since then - 8 miles last wednesday - usual work lunchtime run - about 1:00, then new shoes - nike air equalon - so just a jog on sat.
8 miles again tuesday - 59:35 but a heel blister!!
saw ursula and had an xray - no new changes on chest so pretty pleased. Lucy and Natalie down with snotty noses though so only a matter of time
