I have ran this race for the last two years, 2007 and 2008. In 2007 I finished in 22hrs 45mins after really struggling for the last 20miles with very sore quads. In 2008 I far exceeded all my expectations and finished in 11th place in a time of 19hrs 59mins 33secs. I started my blog in October 2006 to record my training and thoughts in preparing for this race and have kept it going ever since.
