Well done Mrs, very proud of you. Glad to hear you could hardly move but still kept going, determination is a huge part of sport, as you have just found out.
Many congrats to you and your team, and to your family as well who have clearly supported you to the max.

Well done you.....I lost track of when it was as I was away but SO GLAD it went well.

What a superstar.

Glad it went so well - I felt exhausted reading your account!!! What a great achievement.

Congratulations.

Amazing stuff - well done you. I saw a couple of minutes coverage on the local news - it looks seriously hard work!

The pictures will have to wait a few days I think - looking through the ones I've taken, there are only two with me on, and they're both a bit rubbish! There will be loads coming online over the next few days, so once I've found some good ones, I'll get them on. Off to bed in a mo as still very tired (don't think I've recovered from that 3.15am start yet!), but I did say I'd be back later, so I am!

Wish I'd managed to catch that - I've tried to find something online, but can't seem to locate it. The helicopters that presumably were doing the filming were a bit off putting actually, there were about 4 in the air at once, not to mention all the spectator boats - we christened one the Refugee boat, as it was so packed to the gunnels, and had a really precarious looking upper level that seemed to make it tip alarmingly from side to side in the big swell

Right, Nos Da, I promise I'll find some pics for you soon, I've been saying it for long enough

Fantastic Pipscariad, are we going to get a piccie in the Western Telegraph? Congratulations!

[tricky]

well done pips , pleased you did it.

Just about to go to bed, but before I do I thought I'd attempt to attach a couple of pictures - yes, I've finally got around to it!!!!

Once I've found out whether or not they've worked, I'll let you know which is me

So, here goes....

Woohoo, they're there! On first pic I'm second from right in blue vest - this was our first race, the 'long' one, then on second pic (final race) you can just about make out the top of my head, 2nd from right again! My son didn't actually recognise me in the first photo!

I'll add a few more when I'm not as tired.
