Running hills 5:34:54 26.4 km (12:41 / km) +1434m 9:59 / km
ahr:129 max:148 shoes: Salomon Speedtrak 2017
LAMM on Harris. D course, day1: 20km and 1000m, but we nailed the nav and ran 6km and 400m climb more than advertised, on a hot day! The first two controls were straight up hill, and I was struggling with unexpected lack of energy and the weight of the pack from the off. The next leg was long, and hot, and we had to have a brief stop to try to address a burgeoning blister on my heel; again, unexpected, as this shoe/sock combo normally works perfectly.
Unfortunately I didn't get my fuelling/hydration right, and tailed off massively after the 18km mark, but Jase helped me crawl to the finish, where we found the most amazing mid camp ever. We were surprised to find ourselves in 3rd place and 1st vets, having been going backwards for the last hour and a half. I was definitely the weakest link today - absolutely b*ggered, and drained to a husk - at the finish. It took a lot of tea and food to feel vaguely human again. Bonus muscle-cooling walk into the sea. TRIMP 443.3.
