Sounds like a good day out. A guy I know from my wobbly triathlon days ended up phoning in air support...

He stood on something metal and it went right into his foot - looked in proper agony as I went past (there was already several runners aiding him at this point). Glad to hear he's alright.
Interestingly, I usually take my phone on longer races, but sacked it off as it hadn't charged properly. Deffo gonna be more prepared next time.

Too shagged to scribble down my usual Homeric tome - for now. Will put out a long winded ramble in the coming days for those bored enough to read it.
Essentially, had an alright day, did a 3:35 when I was aiming for a 3:30, came 277/500. Was surprised how broken I felt at the end. Also, felt bad at the start and was way further back than I thought. Stomach felt odd/slight headache but that went away after 6-8 miles. Got a decent second wind just after the 3rd last climb, which was good for morale as the last 6 miles are much harder than the first 10 as they contain over half the ascent.
All in, I got it done in an ok time with pretty minimal preparation. I also paid the price of minimal preparation by sacrificing my legs to the Fell Gods, not that they'd want them - they were shite.
