Running 9:14:21 [2] 70.2 km (7:54 / km) +2453m 6:43 / km
Day 4 - Make or break
Highs
- starting by myself, feeling strong and knowing that Steve was suffering
- working my way through the field up to check point 4 picking nice routes and getting good lines
- finishing; it was a long and tough day
Lows
- nearly getting run over by the camera crew
- the long (10k) road descent, so much pain - the only way I got through it was making up and shouting swear words (I got quite inventive)
- getting backed by the sun around the reservoir
- two (small but costly) nav wobbles on the way to 6; really struggled to keep my concentration levels up
- finishing 1 hour down on Steve - game over for any race.
