McWilliams Round 2020
1 attempt per year it seems.
Wanted to maybe have a go for the record so teamed up with Cal and Baba. Chose to have a go in reverse which should be more runnable towards the end in theory.
Set off well bar some minor navigational issues we made it to Cheviot on pace in 2hr30. I tried to push on a bit from here to make the most of the running but suddenly got the hunger on heading up the Schill. Sorted myself out and caught back up to run another 10km with them before yoyo-ing a bit whilst we restocked on water. Then at 40km the wheels fell off and I stumbled my back watching Cal and Baba run up and over the horizon and missing a turn to void their attempt (hopefully they'll have another go). After a couple lie downs and stretching out my back I got going again albeit slowly and ran down in to Wooler for a sub-6 which Im pleased to get.
Maybe I'll have another go in a few week with a few more hills in the legs.
