[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1434922, member: 265172"] I DID IT!!!!!!!! Thank you all so, so, so much for your support - you were there all the way! And I loved every single moment of it! I'm hoping to put a snap up later - but....... fanfare....... I do want to show you my time! I worked out (online, and based on my parkrun PB) that I am apparently capable of doing 10k in 1 hour 8 minutes Ta-daaaaaaaaa!!!! [ATTACH=full]22514[/ATTACH] I was chuffed with the 'gun' time - but then they uploaded the 'chip' time - which has blown my mind! As you can see it took a few minutes after the gun sounded to get over the actual start line and for my timing chip to kick in! Adrenaline (not from running, but with sheer excitement) meant I started the race much higher than was ideal. I knocked my pump back to 40% for the duration, rather than the 50% I do with a 5k (I thought that would cover all bases in terms of endurance). As it happens I was - according to my Libre - between 10 and 12mmol/l all the way round (my Libre does read high though). That was fine, and I'd MUCH rather I was 12 than 3, to be honest - so I made sure I had a small bolus when I'd stopped, and I've got a TBR of 150% running, and I'm steadying up at around 8mmol/l right now. I'm on my sofa - still with my trainers on - in a pain-free position with my feet up. My foot was absolutely fine, but 4km in I started getting muscle pain in my lower legs - but not enough to want to stop. My best mate is about to bring me a kilo of Epsom salts to put into a lovely warm bath - apparently that will help to ease the extraordinary stiffness! Hurts when I move, doesn't hurt when I don't. Frankly I shan't be moving for a while..... BRIGHTON ON MARATHON DAY IS AMAZING. The crowds were so, so supportive, and I'm really glad I had my running vest printed with my name - that made such a difference! We walked along some of the marathon route on our way back, and cheered them on - there was such a buzz. Thanks so much, folks! You're smashing! Love Snapsy xxx [/QUOTE]
