I did the race yesterday. Chrissie Wellington was pretty cool. She beat me by almost 2 hours, but she stuck around at the finish line to put the finisher medal around my neck and many other finishers. It meant a lot to those who had a goal of just finishing let alone winning the event.

She is back to defend.
