I think this is a reminder of how far you have come. From Walk to Run to tackling possibly the toughest route anywhere. So you should be super proud of your accomplishments. I think if you’re keen to keep making gains then these are the type of races you can look to return to next year and run quicker. It will be a good measure of your progress. Drinking water on the go is quite an art. So the technique is to ensure the cup is only half full (pour a little out if need be). Then you squeeze the top of the cup, turn it and then pour it so it comes out in a narrow stream rather than covering yourself in a big splosh. I’ll have to demonstrate at some stage. Fantastic running though Ellie.
