The Road to 100 Marathons
Roseland August Trail Ultra 32 Miles Number Five
My 5th Race is know as the RAT and is on the South West Coastal Path. One of the hardest races I have done. You get a coach from the start and drive 32 miles away and run back. There is hardly any flat and you are either going up or down and it is very step so on the way down your toes are banging into tip of your shoes. The ups were where I suffered as it was made up of steps and the cramp was horrendous.
The pain going up the steps meant I was taking ages getting up them and I just thought give me some straight tarmac to run on. I came close to DNF but stuck with it. I finished in a time of 7:05:00.
Over all a great weekend run by the Mud Crew with camping and a disco after with a 64 mile option and Half Marathon.
