It's raining, it's pouring...

Lousy weather for a race today, but nevermind...

Thank you to everybody who has sponsored me so far, and if you haven't yet, but would like to, you can still do so! The donations page remains open until mid-August.

A little over two hours until the race now, getting ready to leave.

I'll let you know how I did - race highlights will be shown at 11.30pm on BBC2 tonight, so there's an outside chance you might see a very quick glimpse of me (but I doubt it...)
