My feet have all swollen up though :???: - I've never had that before, but I assume it's just some reaction to running for much longer than I'm used to. Have you all recovered yet?

They were 9th out of 25 or so, but this is in the top class for pairs. That's 9th out of (probably) the 25 best pairs in the race. Rachel is being too modest.

Fancy some rock climbing? ;-) 3rd place! Yeah! :star: And only “elite” (pros?) ahead of you – cool.

Ian says his main sport is now Cake-eating and he would like to issue you with a formal challenge to the speed-eating and stamina events. The latter, I am told, involves a dozen cakes.
