Full report to come but quick update now that I am home.
I finished the 2019 Dragon’s Back race in 68:36:20 in 206th place. There were 402 starters and 251 finished.
Here are my splits for the each day compared to my plan
I am so pleased with my race and proud of the fact that I was able to achieve what I set out to do!
Congratulations to my very good friend Andy Cole who won my ‘Guess My Time’ competition. I am so pleased for him as Andy helped me so much in preparing for this race from advice to showing me the course over several weekend recce runs.
A few photos for now …
Photo taken about an hour after the finish. Tired but very happy!

Congratulations John! I really enjoyed following your dot on the tracker. The look on your face in that first photo says it all!
