Thanks to Rory at USE for pic.
Another month, another marathon! This time the Three Forts Marathon. Ive trained hard for this and my target was to run it under 4 hours so I'm well pleased with finishing in 3:50. I went off fast at the start and was in the top 5 for the first few miles, annoyingly though as we were running along the road a whole group of runners joined us from the left having taken (a no doubt unintentional) shortcut across the field! Doesn't really matter of course but would have been nice to know what my real finishing position was. Anyway, the race was otherwise excellent, the rain stayed off and apart from a cheaky headwind for the return leg from Devil's Dyke the weather was perfect. Feel a bit achey today but not too bad considering. Think the post ride massage helped! :o)

Update on 9/5/2007: Results now up I came 23rd which I'm very pleased with but wonder where I would have come if it weren't for the short-cutters!
