Andy #8 has stormed off again, hope you can claw it back. Top performance over the week either way. Been fun dot watching.

Just had nothing in the tank today. Couldn't get temp under control despite drinking loads, probably from overdoing it yesterday and accumulated fatigue. Slogged it out for 26 miles and something suddenly clicked and I found a rhythm and ran the last 4 miles to the finish. Passed a couple of people from the earlier starts and found my way through Chester to the finish. 2nd on the stage and 2nd overall.
Other Andy (#8) got a very well deserved overall win. TBH I could tell from day 1 he was stronger, and has more mountain running experience so I was pleased to stick with him for as long as I did.

Yeah all sorted. Just a bit of a shock as I've not had it before.
First wave just set off so the dots are moving!
