Jogged the Manx Mountain Marathon yesterday with very sore right knee. After South Barrule my entire body was aching, so I stopped noticing the knee. Ended up 14th of about 90 runners, in 5:48:51. My main aim was to scrape inside 6 hours, which luckily I managed mainly by starting off very slowly. In fact I ran the entire race very slowly, apart from the final 400m when I decided to sprint to pip Michael Diver before the line. Paul Thompson of Clayton won the race for the third year in a row in a time of 4:54. First lady was Louise Staples of Worcestershire Joggers in 6:44, narrowly beating Debbie Thompson on her 50th birthday.
