Mudskipper Jun 2008 1:02pm, 23 Jun 2008 3,075 posts	0 Mudskipper Rich - Sounds like a great weekend. Well done on a great effort. Sets you up nicely for your own attempt.
Evil Rich the Dog Dazer Jun 2008 1:08pm, 23 Jun 2008 279 posts	0 Evil Rich the Dog Dazer Thanks Mud. I enjoyed it, especially the dawn run over the Dodds Bit spaced out from lack of sleep today!! Other thing was, you're so focused on making sure the attempter has food and drink, you suddenly realise after 4 hours that all you've had yourself is a sip of water and a gel and you wonder why your head's swimming Own attempt..hmmm. Not sure. It partly inspired me, partly put me off altogether - will explain when we see you at a Trunce! Looking at a couple of 50 milers this summer and autumn at the moment. Don't let me put you off though Mud!

I am very keen to do it, while I would not contemplate other long distance events/races/challenges. Think coming from a mountaineering background rather than a running background makes it different somehow...

WillBill Jun 2008 9:06pm, 23 Jun 2008 396 posts	0 WillBill Impressive doings on Saturday Rich. Wondered how you were getting on in the weather. Feel a wimpish now for dropping off the Ochils earlier than planned on Sunday - but it was really wet up there, and we were going slowly (it was a race recce, so lots of stops to explain & discuss route choices, landmarks etc).
Mudskipper Jun 2008 9:45pm, 23 Jun 2008 3,077 posts	0 Mudskipper BLIDDY ANKLE!!! Rolled over on it again. Feckin' nasty pain and lots of ripping type noise followed by lots of loud expletives which I must aplogise for if I offended anybody coming past. Sorry. Now lots of swelling and some discomfort and a very fixed plan to not run for 3 weeks and then maybe venture back on to the black flat stuff for a period.

Mudskipper Jun 2008 9:52pm, 23 Jun 2008 3,078 posts	0 Mudskipper Thanks Hann. Yep I have well and truly RICED it. Just hoping it is well enough to walk on tomorrow and doesn't keep me awake tonight.
Hanneke Jun 2008 10:52pm, 23 Jun 2008 36,433 posts	0 Hanneke Eeeek... geek I know there is some sort of formula for it somewhere on the web FR, but I would not have a clue... it also would depend on the type of terrain how fast you can move, not just the incline, so it is a bit hard to formulate.
