It was a brilliant day we had a real laugh and I managed to keep my wig in place the whole time :shock:

I was feeling absolutely fine, no aches or pains and went for a run on Sunday :P

The highlights were
Seeing everyone in costumes at Hatton X at 0600hrs
Being asked for my autograph by a couple of school kids
Not coming anywhere near last on any of the runs
All the cars tooting and waving at us, which certainly added speed and stamina to the legs :)
Random passengers waiting for trains in Central London singing the "118 118" song
Being exactly on our estimated schedule for several hours until the slow District Line to
Upminster scuppered us
Al and Peter getting the burger king in for our final assault up the Met Line at the end of the day :D

Lowlights
Sam and Matt having to bale out at South Ken
Running to Ken Oly and seeing Andi get of the bus (which I beat anyway)
Keith losing his ticket for a couple of minutes at North Ealing which meant I had to wait for him as he didn't know the run so I didn't get filmed flying down the road to West Acton :(

Can't wait for next years Red Nose day and any other full network is going to seem very dull compared to this.....

A big thanks to our support team for the food and water drops and route change suggestion at the end fo the day :D

I was third or fourth I think :) but more importantly, I didn't spend the next hour wanting to go home! :D

I would have won easily, but I had to go back and rescue Robin's cape for him. It flew off in the middle of the road and I had to run back and get it for him.
One day I shall return!
