Second @london100km was everything and more . This time I teaming up with @liamhollingham@stephenashwell … new friends made, sights seen, pain encountered and race pace tested over 50km.
Still processing….
Takeaway points:
1. Hydration is key, especially when you’re a salty dawg.
2. Test your navigation device before race day
3. Laugh in the face of adversity
4. Bring everybody along for the ride
5. Get a stand for my recovery recipes - Ginger and Turmeric shots went down smoothly, date bark, chocolate brownies…
6. Take directions from @derricke17 - especially at Brockwell Park
7. Signup to the 2027 London 100 - 100km option!!!
8. Thanks 🙏 to the event organisers @paulabedford@david_camino_ultra_bone@frank1313 and all the wonderful volunteers @emi.isonline@lizbobs@auriime@eleanorcoker@willbrfalk@makeroombrad@aarunsultra and many many more!!!
