Walking 4:20:15 [0] 15.68 km (16:36 / km) +2098m 9:57 / km
First hour was a bit boring as I went back to the car to change shoes as my foot was sore in inov8s so had to catch the others up.
Such an awesome track with abandoned stone cottages appearing all over the place. Got a bit sketchy when we reached the ridge at the top as there was quite a bit of snow about. I was slipping all over the place in my normal running shoes and we had to do a fair bit of rock climbing to reach the top.
Then had so much fun running down a big stretch of snow. There were streams and rocks underneath so every now and then we'd sink up to our knees and fall flat on our faces. Path continued down through some gorgeous beech forest and past even more stone cottages before ending with some lovely waterfalls and gorge.
Followed this with a lovely dinner at the Aussies place in their amazing old stone village. Sitting outside in the sunshine till 9.30pm at a stone picnic table with vines overhead. Gorgeous :)

Left quad doms are sooo bad. Struggling to walk properly as my leg just doesn't function! Downhills are the worst. Think this rivals Grasmere for some of the worst doms I've ever had.

20th
Finished feeling really happy with this run. Obviously disappointed not to qualify for the final but for the most part i think i ran as well as I could and was hitting all the controls spot on.
So close to qualifying for most of the race, in 14th place with 30secs to spare at control 9. Then going into the last technical control of the course just absolutely hit the wall. Head was just completely dizzy and took a terrible route right underneath the cliffs which involved some steep climbing and lost over a minute on this leg. Had already started to wobble on the track leg to 9 and even had to walk a bit despite it being flat, so think I was just at my physical limit.

16th=
Job done...just. Very stressful few minutes at the end waiting to see if I'd made it.
Thought I'd had an okay run so was a bit surprised to be so close to missing out. But looking at the map again, I definitely lost out on some of the route choice.

42nd
29 degrees, long and hilly sprint is definitely not ideal. Absolutely roasting before I started and the water I'd poured over my head had dried in the 2mins it took to reach the prestart.
I think the heat flustered me a bit as I was quite scrappy through the first few controls and wasn't completely focused. Took the time to plan the long leg and even stopped at the control. As a result, it was actually one of my best splits which doesn't usually happen on such a long leg.
Scrappy through 6 and 7, then leaving 7 I couldn't find the alleyway I'd literally just run through and tried to go in an olive green bit. Absolutely hit the wall climbing the stairs to 14 and was just stumbling around the last loop which was such an unnecessary loop anyway.

Brief stop at the accommodation before getting accredited, team meeting, model event, dinner, sleep. Absolutely exhausted...not the ideal preparation!
