I did it: the film version

Royzy does not like novels so this blog is the 'film' version of my Norseman adventure i.e., a highlights only version of race day...

Got up 2.30am - (fortunately as alarm clock incorrectly set)
Woke up Si at 3am (fortunately as his alarm clock incorrectly set)
Retched and retched some more 4am
Started event at 5.15am
Finished at 11.25pm (yes, that is 18 hours and 10 minutes after I started)

Have never felt as drained...

Aim to go back for mountain finish in 2011: must get a black t-shirt!

P.S. You can see a video of the event on http://www.youtube.com/nxtri (I am briefly featured at 1 min 35 seconds in)
