Marks BG 19/20th July

[markmc]

After straining my calf muscle in training last week :angry: i made the decision last weekend to call my BG attempt off this weekend and reschedule it for Friday 19/20th July starting at 7PM in a clockwise direction. It was a hard decision to make after months of hard training, but as everyone has said to me it was the right thing to do, and as we all know you need to be standing outside Moot Hall feeling 100% before the off. So everyone that is involved in my BG attempt should of recieved a email with my schedule:thumbup:

That's bad luck mark but sounds like a good decision to postpone. Don't rush back from the injury and good luck

Bad luck MarkMc. I'm sure its the right move if you're injured. Hope your good for later in the year. Good Luck!

Thanks mate its better to play it safe. By letting the injury mend i will come back stronger and did not want to risk doing any more damage to the calf which would mean delaying the attempt even longer.

good decision mark you will feel gutted now but after the injury has sorted itself out and you have had some extra time out you will fly round
I was contemplating this weekend as well but hav,nt sorted as yet

Cheers Roy yes i am gutted but life goes on as they say. I thought with over 30 years of running experience behind me i would listen to my body for a change instead of my head. Hope that you are going okay again.

It's in the diary. A hard decision, but I'm sure the right one. The weather should be a lot better too!

Thanks Simon and Jack for another great day out yesterday on the fells and really looking forward to my attempt now. As you said Simon I should of had a couple of rocks in my rucksack to slow me down for the rest of the day after a 48 min climb upClough Head:wink: It was also nice to see Steve Angus finish his amazing sub 20 hrs BG round:thumbup:
