Running - Trail (Madeira) 6:00:02 [4] 28.57 km (12:36 / km) +2561m 8:42 / km
ahr:123 max:163 (injured) (sick) shoes: Inov-8 Roclite 290 (grey)
First mountain day - had breakfast early and drove to Valley of the Nuns (Curral des Friars, or something, cba to look it up) and ran up to the highest point on the island via another peak, then down and up again to a spherical thing - then we were going to go back down to the car, but I hadn't seen the path on the way up and wasn't mentally prepared to go down a bit and not be able to find it and then go all the way back up again, so we went a speculative way back down to a road, ran down to a tunnel and then hitchhiked back with some nice Portuguese family who happened to be driving past where we parked our car. Phew!
I was getting worried that we weren't going to get back in daylight and didn't have torches. Jack was annoyed I wasn't running faster (sorry Jack). Jack is both significantly fitter and more risk-seeking than me. I think him and Owain would make an awesome MM team.
Physically I felt fine (albeit slow) other than on the rocky bits which were really painful. I'm too scared to do the dangerous descents quickly. And wasn't mentally prepared for a day this long. I resolved to do better on Thursday.
