Did the 24 hour track race in Battersea park at the weekend (Sri Chinmoy Self Transcendence). Really enjoyed it and came away with a little trophy for 6th place so was very happy! Was 6 hours of relatively warm sunny weather, followed by 7 hours of rain and then an overcast morning to try to slog out the last bit. Wasn't anywhere as monotonous as I thought it would be, ran well for the first 19 hours, then had a major lull and rallied for the last hour. Digestion suffered and was a fairly unpleasant experience, basically gave up on solid food about 9 hours into the race and survived on energy gels and Haribo for 15 hours!
