MDCC's Chris Taylor demonstrated yesterday what a talented athlete he is in completing the London Marathon in under 3 hours. Chris told Peter this morning that he had hoped to get near to 2hrs 48 minutes but he suffered some lower leg cramp which slowed him up considerably. He was watching the minutes tick away on his Garmin in the latter stages of the race  and only through a last painful sprint was he able to beat the 3 hour barrier and finish in  2 :58:08.

Well done Chris, brilliant effort.  

Chris also says he's now hanging up his marathon shoes for good!
