Day Four - Torinturk
Early start today in the pouring rain. Rough tough first part to the course and I was struggling with the running. So quite early on I got into the mindset that today would be a discard day and never really attacked as hard as needed by the terrain. And then just before #11 I hit my shin very very hard on a boulder hidden in the bracken - at the time it just hurt an awful lot and I was able to get on and finish, but later it swelled up with a haematoma which stuck out further than my knee! Looked dramatic but ice and compression brought it down okay.
Unsurprisingly slow round the last section and way down on the day, finished in 39th place.

Hasty run to the start after putting up JOK and FVO tents, just got there in time. Felt more tired than warmed up :(
