    Well done Sarah! We went across to support my father in law in the 100 and as we were driving past the start we saw Ben walking along the road and so we guessed you must have been running it! Really well done. We're sort of tempted to enter in the future but those scrambles looked a bit grim :-)

    I attempted the 165 km. My first DNF at 61 miles. It was a humbling experience. I sustained an injury at around mile 40 and tried to persevere but there was zero leeway on that course and I eventually 'retired' crushed. I'm still limping around feeling sorry for myself, whilst spending far too long analysing what went wrong. Congratulations on your finish Sarah. The 100km version next year perhaps?!
