It is the only race to cross two continents...we started in Asia and finsihed in Europe :-)
I finished in 1 hour 15 seconds and placed 51st out of around 4,000. I am pleased with the result although a little gutted I didn't make it under 1 hour!
Picture from the end and medal:
Istanbul has not hosted the Olympics as yet but have put a bid in to host the summer 2020 games....currently it is between Istanbul, Madrid and Tokyo....so if they do get it then I will be slightly ahead of the game for my challenge ;-)

and the finish in the old town:
Now time for a wander and some baklava I think.....
