Well done David! It's a wonderful experience once you've accomplished a challenge you have set yourself. But it's not only the accomplishment it's what you learn about yourself on the journey. I'm a runner and it's a blessing to be able to set yourself goals and to accomplish them. Once again congratulations! Enjoy the recovery.
Johan, Thank you. Great to know that you or anyone understands we do these things to learn ... we stop learning, we die. Or as the sufist would say, "A man knows everything, then he dies." Keep learning. Yes, recovering. Aches and pains but fortunately blessed for this. Ran several ultras in the Netherlands in my day, great ultraletes too. But these days, the bike is for the long stuff, short runs just for the memories ...
