I feel good after this event and I'm very happy for my result.

I was prepared for this marathon attempt. I had followed the last few weeks a good training plan and conditioned myself to long steady paced rowing which I believe is how a marathon should be rowed.

On the day, I felt strong, I was prepared mentally and physically. I was determined to beat my personnal best and wasn't going anything to let stop me. I immediatly settled into a steady pace and I was feeling great.

At the half way, and suddenly, I felt trouble with my both legs but it wasn't time to stop, just face it and go for it to the end. Fortunately the support that I received carried me through the worst moments and I regained the determination to hang on.

On reflection, I would say this event was an success and of course I will be present next year why not with some more frenchies !!!
