Thanks very much, awesome day out! Felt a little bit bad as I passed him, he had led the whole day pretty much and apparently was his third attempt to take the win but he looked in bits when I saw him and he said he was close to quitting. I said I was heading for Oval, wished him well and blazed off, amazing what the adrenaline of taking the lead can do for tired legs. Got to Oval with an hour still to go. Seems he had found a second wind too as was coming over Vauxhall Bridge so carried on towards Lewisham.... he got as far as Camberwell in the end. Really pleased I kept it going for the full 24 hours in the end!
