    Met a guy on the train on Friday taking his cross bike to Nairn for the start. Had come from London, said he'd been training for 6 months!

    Thanks guys!

    Back home now, tired but happy. It was hard but I finished in the top 200 which is what I wanted so I am very pleased with that. :-) I am not fast but I reckon if I can cover the distance faster than most people then that is pretty good.

    Thank you again!

    Saturday can be summed up thusly:-
    Rain pain pain pain pain pain rain.
    I was carrying too much kit which didn't help.

    Sunday was more like pain rain pain rain pain pain pain. The supposed 14 mile run at the end was not really a run at all and took me far longer than anticipated, just because the terrain was so tough. Took me about 13 hours to do the whole lot.

    I took the bus to work this morning..

    ..I have a horrible feeling I am about to enter a 69 mile ultramarathon. :-(

    Writing it down in words might help me come to my senses.

    Edit: about the bus, not the ultra-marathon! - crossover in posting...

    (Belated) Congratulations! What an achievement to be proud of.

    Dave said same thing about his recent event....

    Sunday was more like pain rain pain rain pain pain pain.

    Like it - telling it as it is! That's the kind of summary that should help get more entrants next year... ;-)
