I want to go back to Norway and get a black t-shirt. This will mean taking about 1.5 hours off my combined cycle and swim time (mostly off the cycle) and being strong enough to run the first 25km at least of the run and then quick march to the two cut off points.
I will see how next year goes and use events such as North Cornwall Tor as a guide to progress (target time for 2010 = 8 hours).
Regardless, I do feel proud of finishing this time and feel honoured to have shared the experience with Si and Julie: apologies to both of you if I was a bit 'down' after and did not share my gratitude with you.
Thanks also to those who wished me luck and sent congratulations to me on finishing, particulalry Royzy whose text re white t-shirt cheered me up (and good luck to you for 2008!) and thanks to Dave for looking after work while I was away.
I will wear my white t-shirt with pride and happy memories...

The white T-shirt alone is an outstanding achievment, a very belated congratulations from myself and Lucy. I may have pulled your leg a little about the worth of the white T-shirt, but this is an unfortunate part of my nature. I can only pretend to know what it takes to swim, cycle and run in an upward direction for 18 hours (apart from swimming which obviously is on the level)and also without the proper support and sponsorship you deserved. Thanks for writing about it, and entertaining us on you tube.

it would be nice if you asked permission from the photographer to use his image!
