I’ll listen to that and empathise. It beats sitting on a park bench and sobbing.

Lovely to hear you both again. Such a nice race report, KatieB thank you and well done. What was it that Hendo used to say again? I can't remember... something about carrots?

Re Arreton "sandy path" - Arreton Valley is on virtually pure sand, the market garden centre of the Garden Isle! (I picked tomatoes there for a summer, and then sweetcorn the next! My shoes & socks were regularly stained orange!) There are a *lot* of hills there though. I'm enjoying listening to your description of places I know quite well - fascinating seeing them (hearing them?) through other eyes. PS - I see your footprints across those Conquersise zones! |

What a lovely report from Walk the Wight KatieB. And very well done again. Fantastic. Walking or running, that sort of "time on feet" is exactly the ultra experience. * The low key start * The shared joy and camaraderie * The special moments, special to you * Hallucinations, sometimes pleasant * Hungry, but don't want the food * The pains that would be niggling in normal life but are agony after 5 hours * When up hills hurts less than down! * Cursing at that 0.5 mile long section or checkpoint or worse, the finish. Have you read Binks's article (some of which is in the book)? It's brilliant. The psychology of being angry at rocks that you stub your toe on. And the futility. It is the discovery of self in that dark place after hours and hours and hours that is the greatest "gift" and revelation of an ultra. Very, very well done. G

And those are all ultra learnings too: * Real food options, not just sweets etc. * Don't carry anything you don't need. * And if there is support, take advantage of them * Shoes and socks off - bliss! * Enjoy the experiences... Wonderful lady here in Scotland on the ultra scene - 2 x cancer survivor and still does the 95 mile West Highland Way race - she says "Look aboot ye." Look about you - take the time to take in the scenes, the people, the places everything. It's a privilege, even during the pain and the problems, it's a privilege. Again, many congrats. G

Linds - definitely contribute sonething gloomy, we all know the reality that training us not brilliant all the time, the whole ethos of FE is that it’s for *everyone* therefore not everyone us going to be having the perfect time. Mr panad and I normally listen to the podcast together. The last couple he’s told me to listen on my own as his training is not going well (or in fact at all) at the moment, with a big case of cba which has spiralled and he he’s feeling really low about it. As a result the last thing he wanted to do was listen to race/training reports - it’s like looking at random social media andseeung everyone else living the ‘perfect life’
