My first Ultra, and having finished I'm very achy and tired but not ruined like after the Shakespeare Marathon 2013.  40th overall, of 139 runners. 69th place (median) took 6:00:00



We walked up the steeper hills, and our definition of "steep" got less and less strict during the second half until anything over 2-3% resulted in a walk break.



Stunning views on the downs especially, including an obelisk, a chalk white horse, bluebell forest, and dramatic sweeping steep contours.



The leg along the canal was quite fast which probably took more out of legs than we wanted. My bad.



8 checkpoints, each with water, juice, cookies, jaffa cakes, crisps, jelly beans or jelly babies. I had 2 jaffa cakes CP2-7 but only one at CP8.



The final 3.3 miles was nearly all flat or downhill, so we could actually run it which was a delight, even though still really hard work on exhausted legs. 5:16/km ( 8:28/mile) for the last leg.















At the end we got a locally made mug, plus a cooked meal with tea or coffee.















5:59/km moving average - taking out styles and short checkpoint stops
