Finished my RRTY today, proper shit day for a 200. Fog didn't clear all day and made the last 5 hours a bit sketchy in the dark, A24 was a genius plan.
Had knee trouble from about 140k, which got progressively worse until it felt like someone was sticking a knife in my knee, I nearly cried in Catford only 2 miles from home FFS.
Got home and was shaking so decided to jump straight in a hot bath, which was a terrible idea, I started shaking violently and had a panic attack, brilliant.
Anyway the conditions were awful, but there was no way I was stopping, as I'm not sure I fancy doing this award again.
This is the one thing I really really wanted to achieve this year after two previous failed attempts, it's good to find the edges sometimes as I can't imagine packing on anything after today.
Just goes to show what a fucking epic achievement Jake's ride was the other day!
