Water was definitely a theme for today, however it barely rained. It was running of the hills at every opportunity. Paul asked at one point if there was fish in this track!
Mosedale was the boggiest, marshiest, most inclement place ever. It looked nice on google earth! Actually it looked nice today. We all went over at some point, I've got a masive bruise on my shin from the pedal when I went over, face first into a peaty puddle. The last 16 miles by contrast only took a little over 2 hours, definitely a game of 2 halves.
Tommorow is less miles and less climbing, hopefully on the bike. Welcome relief. Just the 2 of us again tomorrow.
It was good to see Paul and Jacky today, they've had to go back home now though.
Glad things are going okay! Sorry to hear about all the water. Sounds like you did 4 miles in 4 hours at the start, that must have been shitty going.
ReplyDeletekeep it up. waiting to hear what happened on Wednesday. hopefully better than Tues, which sounds pretty bad.
ReplyDeleteMy son thinks you're really cool. which is annoying.
