Fairly pleased with Brecon to Cardiff 70k (44 miles) where I placed 84/223 although I wanted a better time. (don't we always!?!) 8hrs 18 mins was ok on what is a challenging route .

run free Feb 2017 9:20pm, 23 Feb 2017 3,013 posts	0 run free Just completed Rovaniemi 150K. Temps went down to -27 degs C. Still have all my fingers. A snow tyre called Lumi sat on my pulka which weighed about 30kg in total and got 3rd place because the other ladies quit for one reason or another. (cold etc). If you're looking for a snow and ice event Rovaniemi 150 also has an introductory 66km event as well as a 300 km event. The organisation is excellent. Now to re-attempt Arrowhead.
run free Feb 2017 9:21pm, 23 Feb 2017 3,014 posts	0 run free ....Lumi weighs 15kg. My pulka had water, spare gear, -40 deg C sleeping bag to make it weigh close to 30kg.
