Running

Yeah actually most of it was very enjoyable. We had two clear nights but not too cold and a nice sunny day that wasn't too hot. I ate and drank well and spent the first 80 miles with a mate who 1) is more experienced than me so we walked a lot to conserve energy and keep a decent average pace - as opposed to running too much early on and crashing into the wall relatively early in the race, and 2) can talk and spin a tale so we just chatted pretty much the whole way which really helps pass the miles and take your mind off the little aches and pains that can otherwise become big (in your head) things.

It was probably only the final 10 miles where the wheels fell off that I would say was type 2 fun, the rest was actually fun at the time too!
