Well, as you will see from the photo, camping in a school gym is very cosy!
With heavy snow overnight, the conditions for racing on Sunday (yesterday) were not ideal, if not treacherous in places, and several people withdrew from the second day, myself included. Day one had been freezing and whilst a lot of fun to boot, running another 33miles over deep snow covered terrain where the risk of injury is hugely increased and the run most likely to take at least an hour longer, withdrawing seemed like the sensible option. I had quite a sore niggle in my left knee and I’d rather get to the start line of the MDS fighting fit and niggle free, so I decided to play it safe!
