Edinburgh Marathon Festival Relay, 2nd leg for HBT Wreckage team, after Rhyno and before MickeyG and StuM (who had stepped in at the last minute for JamBo who was ill). Further to pub chat - could the MPC win this? The answer turned out to be yes, rare podium glory and radio interview (conducted in appropriate HBT style)! None of us were at our best, Rhyno arrived in 4th place, about 7 mins behind a proper runner and 3-4 mins behind 2nd place with someone who had followed him the whole way overtaking him just before the line, I set off with typical leaden legs, getting away from the other close runner by being more organised at handover and luckily only had 5.5 miles to do, ran fairly OK, missed the handover funnel and doubled back and handed over to Mickey just a few mins down, Mickey dispatched the two in front and Stu had a run home hoping there was noone fast approaching! All good fun, did make me want to do a proper marathon again soon but I had better fight that thought... VOdot inching up again although only 2 mins faster than running the same part of the marathon 3 years ago.
