Todays 24 hour race finished with Scotland winning team bronze for men and ladies. For me it was a disaster. It was going wrong early on with a shoe change needed due to foot pain, which is an early warning of fatigue for me. At about 9pm every time I ate I threw-up and I ran through the night eating next to nothing,still throwing up and rapidly losing energy. At about 8.30am, when the team prize was in the bag, I was able to stop.
Steve and William had great runs notching up 145m+ and 130m+ respectively, I managed approx. 106m. i'm glad it's all over, I've never had such a bad experience in a race before, my legs and body are completely trashed. Even Harry Potter couldn't have put some magic into that performance.

Great team effort Richie. Put your feet up and munch some biscuits for a while before embarking on the next adventure :o)
well done team! good effort for sticking in there when the going got tough. take it easy :)
Good man for making sure the team prize was in the bag. Have a good rest now, eat chips and curry sauce and the magic will be back in no time.
