I can pull about 4Wkg for 5 minutes, I can't imagine what 5Wkg feels like...! Thanks for the advice - noted about the first 5 minutes!

From about marker 8 onwards my feet were cramping something chronic wtf! (not normally a problem but I don’t normally sit there that long) HR was very low and in all other respects I could have just trundled my way to the top. We don’t have a fan and whilst I was sweating a lot I wasn’t overheating but I wonder if I need more salt. It’s just a game but I feel disappointed!

I haven’t even had the nerve to think about it. Need to lose a lot of weight for it to be a realistic proposition for me. Meanwhile my Young Lad has done it 8 times in the past 4 weeks or so. He’s up it like a rat up a drainpipe; takes him about an hour. He’s only disappointed he hasn’t won the wheels yet!!
