Blimey, well done! Huge congrats and welcome to the black medal club! Even more impressive as by the sounds of it you were unsupported?

Bloody hell, well done! I had to read your post twice to check that I understood the enormity of it. I would have been in that pub quicker than ... well far quicker than I can run. Kudos!

Amazing effort. That's a decent day out on the bike, on foot it's just mind blowing.
Which pub in Andover was tempting you? Feel I need to visit it next time I'm that way as it must be worth it.

Yeah, seemed a strong field from the glances I had at the tracker
I think today might be the hardest ultra I've done. On your own all day, got to find water along your route. Got to plan your route, manage sourcing food, dealing with nav issues, motivating yourself to keep going when a pub in Andover seems like a great idea... Really had to work my mental game at points.
But
100 miles in 22:16 (I'm calling that a PB for an out in the wild 100. Went faster for 100 at Endure 24 but that's a different kettle of fish).
Made it past the 90 miles ATCF. Come on you black medal!
Was in 6th place, but I stopped at 2330 having reached my goal so looks like that cost me a place.
