Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Notes & Comments

SIX FOOT TRACK - not sure how to describe this race. The hardest thing I have ever done. It started ok - I sprinted off the start line to the steps (like everyone told me to do) and then realised I was first in my wave by a long way. I kept going all the way down Nellie's Glen stairs and then kept up a pace that was too fast until about 8km. Here I was caught by some NRGers who are much faster than me and I realised I had gone off way too fast. But what to do now?!

I tried to slow down to the river, but was there in 1:45:02. I then climbed a mini mountain (pretty much 4km up a mountain). Then 3km flat or downhill before another 3.5km to the top of the Pluviometer (the real mountain). Then it was 12km of "undulations" which meant to me struggling over hills which were far worse to me than the mountains before.

Once I finally made it to 38km I got to see Bex which made me unbelievably happy, but also tearful. I felt like I had used everything and I just wanted to stop. Fortunately seeing Bex pushed me to finish (just). Final time was 6:25:29. Somewhere to start and maybe next year?!?!
