WACA Not in the best nic I'd like to be for this so will take it well easy and possible might finish near cut off. However not out of my range with having done Fellsman earlier this year, Hard Moors 55, Howarth Hobble, BG attempt, Golden fleece, Rudolph Romp (10th:-)), old county tops, Osmotherley Phoenix and recce'd the UTMB so hope have residual fitness left over from resting over summer months. Last 2 points needed to enter UTMB...Ed Rawlings and I both completed the above on what was a lovely day for running with cool temperatures, light airs and plenty of sunshine, starting at 8.00 am we ran from Kelling Heath holiday park along the Norfolk coast to Brancaster via Cley, Blakeney, Burnham Overy Staithe to return along much of the same route. There was a good atmosphere with some healthy banter and plenty of enthusiasm. As the day progressed the beach running in shale and sand took their toll and inevitably everyone slowed accordingly. With light fading and the sky turning from opalescent to pink and then a darkish indigo I resorted to running with my head torch for the last 3 miles over dunes with the waves crashing on my left and finally through dark woods with mist falling to the finish in 11 hours and 35 minutes. Ed, who’d experienced heavy legs, suffering the after effects of a cold and sleepless nights, not great preparation, stuck to his resolve and finished in a highly respectable 14 hours in weather that had finally deteriorated into driving rain and dropping temperatures. We had overcome a tough endurance test and enjoyed a great day in the process.
