Osmotherley Phoenix Ultra no 27

Osmotherley Phoenix, 33 miles 4700 feet of ascent

Great event but a pretty crap effort from myself coming in at 6 hrs 31 mins, 1 hour slower than last year.
Felt pretty tired and had some electrolyte/hydration problems leading to sickness/feeling dizzy and bad cramps. Had a great time after the race though catching up with so many freinds! next year I ll be back  to pull out


                              
               Garry Scott and Nic Ham                                          Mark Dalton trying to get some trade ;0)

                                          Ken & Jen Wyles, Andy Norman and some ugly git

                                                        Sarah Booth, Jen & Ken Wyles


Ultra no 26 was the Hamsterley Marathon, a  27 mile trail lapped course marathon based up near Durham with a big bloody hill in the middle, very tough after the WHW the weekend before and 56 miles in between both the events!!

NEXT BIGGIE!!! ULTRA 30 LAKELAND 100

Fame at last!! (only joking)
