It was my first attempt, and having never run any further than about 4km before in my life, and not have done any real training for it, I was happy to have simply been able to complete the whole thing without slowing to a walk (except to skull a cup of water twice).
I only went in it to support my wife who had made it her big goal for the entire year, and she was devastated when she injured her foot in training last Thursday and had to pull out. I was was going to withdraw too, but she wanted me to do it for her anyhow. And now that I've done it, I really quite enjoyed it (well, I enjoyed finishing!).
My time was 1:02:36 which is nothing special, but I was pretty pleased with it, considering my lack of experience and training. I reckon the last couple of bushwalks helped a lot (and I did do a bit of jogging leading up to each of the bushwalks).
