I DID IT!!!

RAR....I did it, yay...oh my gawd it was awesome, really really hectic....madness...cant explain....groups shouting etc and dancing in the street, a throng of 34999 people and me, hellish....what an amazing experience...I wanna do it again (not right now-legs and glutes a bit sore)...

I have some awesome pics as does Niki and I took some video on me phone as I went round-just wait til you see it.

It was so hot tho, omg, water was low etc. So packed that difficult to run and a lot of people were walking and hard to get past. It was frustrating as I wanted to run more...my legs were there, I had it in the tank cos Ive trained hard for this.
It was funny at one point as some bloke was poking out his tin shack with a hose and people were getting cooled down so I thought "why not" and got hosed down-that helped a lot!!

I reckon I came in in the top third and was approx 1hr 40 which apparently is very respectable at this altitude-I would say that it takes away 25% of your fitness, AT LEAST!!

So at the Hilton pasta party last night had some food and a beer and then they announced that Haile Gabrielle Selaisse (cant spell it) was coming, I screamed with excitement!! Then I got to meet him and got a pic with him-how awesome is that? Im sooooooooooooooooooooo chuffed, he is amazing!! :)

Forgot a few things from before. Niki and I had to wear these scarves in the churches etc, so funny, we were doing an Angelina Jolie I think hehe. Wait til you see the pics!! RAR!!

I cant remember what the other thing is...

Anyway...my online sponsorship page is open til 21/12/10 and of course I will take other methods of payment.

I am so sad that it is over-I have to say it was my fave run Ive ever done (ok have only done 4 but hey it was AMAZING!!) Proper Africa!!

What an experience...gonna go sit by pool now.

Lotsa love
