Running 6:45:00 [3] 22.34 km (18:08 / km) +1651m 13:14 / km
slept:5.0 weight:72.9lbs
SMM Day 1 - 7 hour score - 255pts
Last MM was 40 years ago, previously did well (prizes) anywhere apart from the Lakes.
Took 3 mins to clear mind to plan route at the start after road closure on the way and losing chinagraph. Started just after official last start time.
1. 90s Hesitant tricky with no one around.
2. 2 mins, no one in sight, didn't find a path through toughish bracken/heather.
3-5 Gorgeous hidden valley, some good splits.
6 & 7 Continuing to move well.
8. Worst hill ever (70% plus), felt ill and starting shaking, HR OTT.
9. 4 mins - Mentally hard having shredded legs so early in weekend. Saw crag and appeared runners were ignoring it, overshot.
10. Sat down to appraise whether to stick with plan, didn't spend enough looking at a plan B that was almost as good and very dooable.
11. Took 2 hours to reach next control after getting to foot of hill for plan A and wisely pulling back from serious time penalies and further leg shredding.
12-16 Tidy and moving OK. Descent to over night camp was steep and wet rocks & slippery bracken. Felt envious of people with poles! 8 mins to spare- drained.
Despite not finding a plan B and extra 70 pts, had a good result.
Start pack weight 4.98kg- all up.
