I was a pretty nervous, as hadn't done enough training & have had a tight calf all week.
I felt rubbish by the time I got to Luxmore Hut, and was seriously considering pulling out.
But I carried on, and once past the next feed station at Forest Burn felt a bit better. Quite pleased I carried on as I finished in 8:38, 29 minutes quicker than my previous time, and after only about 8 weeks of real training.
