   Had a recent email from the man himself:

   “Its all over! Thank god! Hardest month of my life

   Unfortunatly I got food poisoning, Gardia, lost a filling, sprained both my ankles in training runs, but did complete the race!

   Finished 10th from the rest of world runners in 6hr 12, so pleased enough, on Sunday I could barely get out of the tent from illness, so just getting to the end in one piece was a miracle! Its like starting the MMM having just finished the MMM!”

   Obviously next years MMM will be a piece of p—s after that.

    Hi All

    Many thanks for your kind words. Simon, you know I’m addicted to Yak burgers!! Good to be back, very tough race, just pleased to get to the end after a rocky road to the start! Was great scenery though, a fantastic place, but maybe just for taking pictures and drinking tea…

    Hope to see you all at the hill race on Saturday, my legs need some real work to get them going between now and then!

    I expect you to be flying on Saturday after all the high altitude training!!!!
    When is the slide show?

12. Tom, on December 12th, 2007 at 4:26 pm Said:

    Thanks Paul. Don’t worry I’ll be able to bore you all senseless with a slideshow very soon!!

    There’s too much oxygen down here to run now, it’s making me light headed !!
