Marz's big challenge! by marzbarz

Well after all the fuss, stress, panic etc I completed the Baxters River Ness 10K on Sunday 5th October!

Due to knee injuries etc I did it in 1hr 27m 50s which was over 2mins faster than my target time of 1hr 30 and 3mins faster than my gun time (i was near the back of the 2100 field to start).

An amazing experience and i've set my sights on completing another 10k next year - hopefully running it this time!  Finishing it was an emotional experience due to past issues i've had in my life and is something i dont think i'll forget.

I just wish the organisers hadnt forgotten about me.....despite entries closing 3wks before race day they didnt have enough medals for me and about another 60 participants which was a huge disappointment and not one that i expected to end up with - needless to say strongly worded emails were sent to which i'm still waiting on a response!

Never midn though, i did it and raised over £700 for Maggies so has made everything worthwhile in the end :D
