| LAMM day 2 - we set off in the chasing start at 7:37, and before team 22 had marked up their maps we were off! team 22 shortly caught us up and overtook us going up to number 1 which was up a nice 350m climb. It was a little apparent that alex was suffering a bit....we were still with teams 22 and 19 by number 2 (never having seen 20 or 21) but the nasty contour around to 3 took its toll on alex hu was clearly really suffering and my feet weren't much better! we said about 3 words to each other in the 1hr and15mins it took to get to 3! by 3 we had been overtaken by team 27 and 30 who were both moving very fast (i wonder if they had navigational difficulties yesterday...) and were met at 3 by team 25! after eating lots of sugar and drinking water we picked up the pace a bit across to 4 and so got time back on 25. From 4 alex appeared to have recovered and so it was his turn to make me run faster! faster! with brain a little crazy we took what could be described as not the best route choice to 5 and so lost about 4/5mins hacking through bracken! from there it was clear running down the hill to 6 and 7 (which was quite painful to say the least) and then into the finish. We attempted a 'sprint' finish in order to go under 5 and a half hours but as the finish was further down the track than anticipated it took us just over! As going to 3 i thought it could take us 6/7hrs i was very grateful we had upped the pace and beating team 25 was a good feeling after being overtaken by them!
came 29th out of 135 :-)
midges are nasty! no amount of suncream can protect u from the sun if it melts off and blisters that rip off with blister plasters leave evil painful skin in their place! |
