Cornish Marathon 2008 Report

November 16, 2008 Damian 0 Comments

I’ll nutshell it for you in some bullet points:

Started steady, kept to a sensible pace.
Got calf cramps after Jamaica Inn.
Slowed down in the last few miles due to above.
Roared and swore all the way downhill to the finish after cramp gripped and wouldn’t release.
Glowered grimly at time: 5 mins slower than last year.
Drank some squash with a teaspoon of salt.
Resolved to try those NuNN tabs next time.
Resisted the free Ginsters.
Accepted nice T-shirt for the 25th Anniversary CM.
Teased Sam Perkin about his “abs failure”.
(could’ve been worse - he might have popped a pec…. think of the mess!)
Waited for Mark O to finish conditioning his barnet (40 mins in the shower - WTF!?).
Went home.

All in all: another backward step in my quest for a sub-3:15 Marathon. On the upside, my Butterfly and Front Crawl are coming along a treat!
