Gula Stigen.
Original plan was to try and lap as close to 3 mins as possible to create a fairly soft record, to entice other attempts.
Didn't happen, with Wil on my tail knocking off a 5k attempt and hammer on the course with a camera - the early laps were way too fast.
Realised at 5.5k I'd miscounted the laps and was only at 5k and thus half way was the hardest part of the run, psychologically. The next couple of ks were super tough and just about survival. The only thing that stopped me from quitting was the merciless AP bashing I would have received had I gave up.
Thankfully Wil and Mike ran with me over the last couple and stopped me slipping too far over the 3 min lap barrier.
Totally cooked at the end, felt like we picked the hottest part of the day to get it done. The clearing just after the Excalibur climb needs to be given some sort of name that aptly describes it's powerful radiation effects.
Great weekend, looking forward to COCs now.
