Mourne Mountain Marathon, C Course, Day 2.
It's nice not having an allocated start time as it always takes longer to get everything packed up than expected. Although i would have been quite happy to head off at about 3am as i didn't sleep a whole lot. Cold night, although not hugely, but also had a muscle in my back complain whenever I settled down so then had to move to easy it off. Glad to eventually get out of the tent and was treated to a wind free sun rise.
Quite a short course today but a lot of it was in rough terrain so Nicky struggling whenever she couldn't see where she was putting her feet. However she didn't do any more damage and was running really strongly when the conditions allowed. Again think no nav issues and pleased with the route choices. First team to finish (they weren't ready) despite being one of the last starts.
Did enough to hold on to the lead, though we did have a scare when we saw the second place team in one of the scatters and thought that they had started after us and were gaining! Very enjoyable weekend (even being cold is part of MMs). and another great MMM.
