I helped, a bit, clean up after the events of the weekend, then had a nap in the afternoon, still tired. I didn't even run over the weekend.

Late this afternoon, jogged slowly around the track because I couldn't get lost, just follow the foot steps of the runners as seen of this image of Trevor & Natalie. They finished 2nd & 3rd in the 48 hour, well behind Martin.

Both suffered badly during the event but continued on to record very good results. It's as much mental as physical to start & finish ultras. Physically you can get through the cramping, blisters & stomach problems every one seems to have. Mentally, only the strong survive, so easy to say I've had enough.

Four weeks from today, I'll be back at work after this time away. Really haven't missed getting out of bed at 5 am to start work before 6 on cold Canberra mornings.

Not much to do or see now before heading south, just ease down the pace again.
