Wow - that was a race alright. Cat and mouse all the way. I ran very consistently but didn't quite have the legs for the battle at the end. 4th place, 15 hours 55mins. I'll take that.
Thanks for all the brilliant support from the UK.

well done Jez..fantastic time and race....
Isn't that a massive PB by nearly an hour? Fantastic run Jez. Hope you're not too disappointed at not getting a podium position.
Hi Jez
Absolutely awesome result. Tremendous effort. Yes third would have been great, but 4th place in the time you ran is amazingly fantastic.
Great to see the British doing so well. Ian Sharman 10th, and Ellie Greenwood, with 7 miles to go, in 3rd place.
See you on the start line at UTMB in 9 weeks time!

Fantastic result Jez. Well done!
Congratulations Jez ... it was exciting enough following you on the web site/twitter etc!
Recover well and all the best for UTMB
Good job Jez!!!
Sensational run Jez, was keeping up to date between a few beers and it looked like a cracking battle... 4 blokes under 16hrs, amzing .. Looking fw to the full report.. You must be buzzing.. Cheers Keith
Nice one Jez!
Gee Mike Wolfe really saved the day for the Yanks or it may have been an international top 4 - Nick Clark is a Brit too.
Great run Jez. Exciting to see you in the lead for a while
Brilliant running, Jez. I think that can be described as a true race! Ellie must have had a great finish too. If she blogs get a link!!!
Congrats, Jez... think you kept more than a few folk up very late, but it was worth it! :-)

Did someone say a PB by an hour!? At that level? You animal!! Man, I've been following you since your MarathonTalk podcast interview. You're a legend! You've inspired me to try some longer fell races this coming year! Can't wait to see you hand out some slaps at UTMB!
I echo everyones else comments Jez. A truly amazing race. I can't even comprehend how you guys run at that pace for 50 miles let alone continue and hold it together for another 50!!! Simply breathtaking stuff. Massive congratulations to you, Ellie (1st female), Nick and Ian. Big up the Brits!!!
Woohoo! Brilliant Jez! Fantastic result, so impressed!
Brilliant run man. Followed you throughout on the live cam,matchsticks in eyes stuff!! You went after it from the start and showed b...s. Watch out Chamonix. Up the Brits!!
Fantastic race Jez. Well done. It was really exciting following it on twitter.

Was gripped all evening. Take my hat off to you! You've turned a more than average plodder into an ambitious dreamer. Good luck in the UTMB! Daz
Fantastic result Jez! Well done and good job keeping the flag flying for GB :-)
brilliant run Jez, i loved following it on't t'ternet .
Just been reading through all your amazing achievements. I can see why standing water in the basement could lose it's appeal in comparison... Many congratulations.
