Where’d we go?

We LOVED…
The crowds! They were as incredible as always.
We Struggled…
The heat! You may have heard it was hot. We are not going to lie, it felt like a bit of a struggle from mile 3 and sadly the wheels came off for E two mile from the end due to some cramp and fatigue.
Why this Race…
It’s the London Marathon. Need we say more?
Famous Faces…
The rest of our amazing team running to raise money for Sparks; Brad, Esmee, Heloise, Ces, Ben, KP, Alex, Aimee and James.
Mid run Brainwave…
Pour water in your mouth and over your head at EVERY station. However, don’t do what H did and squeeze Lucozade on your head.
Rocket Fuel…
Lucozade jelly beans and Chia Charge mini flapjacks
Number 1 Fan…
Zoe, E’s sister followed us all the way to the finish line and even massaged our sweaty tired calves at the end. Yum!
