Well, here I am sitting at my computer after having a good nights sleep...the other competitors in the race have run through the night and are still running now. Awesome.
For my part, I was pulled at CP2 which was 34 miles, my hope was to make it to the halfway point at 56 miles and see how I was moving . I didn't get to make this call as I was falling off the pace and, in fact, came into the check point a full 1 hr 30 after it closed. I was weary but not in any pain.
The +ve to take from this was that I covered a distance of 34 miles..this is my furthest. Another plus was the attitude I ran with; despite being last I was happy to be competing and hopeful of some success in my own way.
On the negative I have to realise my limits, whether they are my personal physical and mental limits on the day or in terms of my commitment to an organised approach to training.
I'll finish saying I already look back on yesterday's 10 hours with a grin. I enjoyed it; I'll be back
