I FECKIN DID IT!
I've been meaning to give it a go since this whole thursday thing first started.
I work too late to ever make the race, and wasn't convinced I'd make it up it anyway.
So finally got round to having a go this morning, and it was hard, but despite slowing to a snails pace at one point i got up it first time!
had to sit down for 5 mins at the top though!
and coming down Archway Road was interesting, thank god it was wide, smooth and empty!
so 30 mile loop round south london in the sunshine yesterday and quick blast round highgate and finsbury park today, I'm trying to work out if it'd be suicide to try L2B next weekend...
