A decent week of heavy recovery post 13 Valleys which saw me run 127.95 miles in a race billed as 115 miles with the late diversion change the night before. There were some incredible highs but I think my top three were …
1. Realising I was above the clouds as the sun came up and the light came with it on the second morning.
2. Being part of a really sold shift into pace as the torrential rain finally came as we ran into Grasmere off the mountains for an hour or so on the Saturday night. I loved the sharing of the load by this small group, the silence and the collective will to get it done.
3. Realising I’d got it done as I crossed the finish line and finally stopped running.
It’s an epic race. Not doing it again but I will be back to volunteer.
Now to get back to it and try and run fast at Scenic 7.
