London

Well done to my fantastic wife Tracey. Awesome performance in her first marathon. 4 hours and 34 minutes. She had a great race from start to finish. I managed to get through the crowds to see her just after Tower Bridge and at 12.5 miles she looked in really good shape, going through in about 2:10. The next viewpoint wasn't until 23 miles as it was mad busy and just unable to get anywhere quickly. And at that point she was still running very well with a bit of a spring in her step. In fact, her splits showed that her last 5k was quicker than her first 5k! She was right on schedule all the way round and I think if she hadn't had so many people to weave in and out of she would have gone quicker. What is great news is the fact she wants to keep up with the running and thoroughlyt enjoyed the whole experience, despite very sore legs this morning!!! New York later this year perhaps?????
Still chance to sponsor her at http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/TraceyBirtwistle
