ReplyDeleteWas reading about your fantastic race in Bridge2Bridge, but somehow Blogger comments was not working for me. Congrats! What a way to get a PR. Way to push yourself to the limits!
Now you are really putting on the pressure for when I turn 40 later in the year... ;)
Great job! That's really focusing on a discipline, isn't it? Sort of like me and water. Except I'll bet you don't smell like chlorine.
