But you do it Ant, and look pretty good in the process (I have photographic evidence from the Great Eastern). For many years, in your youth, you avoided anything that could result in failure; so I see it as a sign of great maturity that you are prepared to trudge through mud with very little prospect of glory.
Is your glory now something more personal? Beating back the ravishes of time on your body and mind to find the mental and physical strength to go again and again, so that you can glory in the small achievement of not coming last, while proudly sporting your West Wales shirt.
Whatever your motivation, running tends to lead to a blooming good read, so I am so very happy for it.
You finished, and you were not DAL (dead ass last). Respect.
