Gert did receive a medal for finishing his 10 mile run.
He did it in 1 hour 45 minutes approximately. He'll know tomorrow for sure - there's this electronic chip all competitors wore on their shoelaces ...
He came over to meet me afterwards and the heavens opened in the worst way. More than 14,000 people - many many more I believe, all headed for the metros and buses returning us all to the city from the Left Bank of Antwerpen.
It was a bit of a nightmare.
It was raining, we were soaked and the pubs were all crowded.
I managed to lead him back to my lunchtime cafe and we warmed up over coffee and tea before jamming ourselves back onto a tram a good 45 minutes later.
It's good to be home ...

Congratulations Gert!
I looked at the professional shots from sport.be over at:

and really,
it must have been quite an experience.
Especially that steep old tunnel seemed like quite an obstacle..
