Was with Athole and Diane this evening and were admiring your blog and description of the 'ordeal' that was the West Highland Way Race. Wanted to tweet about it too, but can't remember your twitter ID. Can you remind me. Want all my followers to admire you too ;o)<br />Hope all well with you and teh family.<br />Take care<br />Davidxdavidmiller_ukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547421713760095952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-896844078079880075.post-70748127459006860072010-07-30T09:28:17.453+01:002010-07-30T09:28:17.453+01:00I think this epic battle needs be made into a Holl...I think this epic battle needs be made into a Hollywood blockbuster starring Sylvester Stallone as you and Dolph Lundgren as Thomas.Stephen Mulrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647768743847226935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-896844078079880075.post-41637217576628951402010-07-25T22:07:54.253+01:002010-07-25T22:07:54.253+01:00Mucous huh?

Any ideas about what may have induced this gastric distress?<br /><br />And I didn't realize you struggled for so much of the race (but managed to finish so amazingly well!). There is certainly a lot of potential there, so keep building on everything you've done already. <br /><br />Hope we can get some training in together - I'd love to get out in the hills for a run!Ben Melbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798743495651444026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-896844078079880075.post-88613601731716910682010-07-22T23:43:27.052+01:002010-07-22T23:43:27.052+01:00Marco, great report and great result for you this ...Marco, great report and great result for you this year! Congratulations again. If you avoid hiding in the bushes and behind boulders for so long next year, you can easily take at least an hour off! Hope your recovery went well. See you at the Devil!

I read a few bits out to Katrina and we both had a good laugh about your grass stuck in your bum!!<br /><br />Great report though Marco. With the issues you had I'm sure you've got an even quicker time in you!!<br /><br />See you soon ...

Didn't ...Great report, Marco, and very graphic!<br />Didn't get to see you at the race, although I was shouting to the GM just north of Tyndrum, just at the car park, and didn't realise it was you just ahead. Marc Casey's wife told me it was you and I had a guilt trip the rest of the day!<br />Now next year; no toilet problems and Richie will be looking over his shoulder!Daviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08861644884461804956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-896844078079880075.post-68404965242990646692010-07-21T22:19:44.765+01:002010-07-21T22:19:44.765+01:00Well worth the wait!

And you cannot write one without having a great race!<br /><br />Although your story is full of shit ;-)<br /><br />Honestly: What an amazing jurney you had. Or better: what a jurney we both had. And even more amazing that we not just ended up having that sprint finish we were always talking about in training (jokingly) but we both also had a struggle to deal with.<br />And we also shared the fastest last section from KLL. And both finished super strong.<br /><br />Btw I cannot remember at all where you overtook me before Kinlochleven. I have no recollection whatsoever. And we even talked?Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12642801966035986262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-896844078079880075.post-38916446932315176722010-07-21T22:17:57.496+01:002010-07-21T22:17:57.496+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12642801966035986262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-896844078079880075.post-64097773324796977272010-07-21T18:05:58.594+01:002010-07-21T18:05:58.594+01:00Cuppa tea in hand and my dinner plate, i sat down ...Cuppa tea in hand and my dinner plate, i sat down eagerly to read your race report, and by balmha my dinner didnt look that great lol, <br /><br />great report and well done on fighting back to run a superb race.<br /><br />NorryNORRYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14933335706354926320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-896844078079880075.post-2700245980763210052010-07-21T08:52:30.488+01:002010-07-21T08:52:30.488+01:00Hi Marco, amazing story!
