Running 2:27:32 [2] 9.75 mi (15:08 / mi) +1501m 10:14 / mi
Well, that didn’t last long, within the first mile, right lung sore. Walked the ups (so did everyone else) but as steadily as possible, then made the most of the descents and overtook. Repeated each climb with vic/Michelle and co going past, then overtaking on the techy descent, until commedagh where the running began. So I stared to loose ground. Happy to get the nav right on the descent and to be back in under 2.5hrs. Love the Mourne mountains even in the mist and wind!
