I'm feeling good after a successful Brecon Beacons 40 a couple of days ago. My pace seemed to be so slow I was expecting an over 10-hour finish. Strangely I picked up in the final third, which included a climb of THAT corner up Cribyn and one of the world's longest descents back towards the finish. The final 14 miles became my time to do the overtaking instead. I surprised myself to finish comfortably under 9:30. Hopefully that will translate into a sub-11 finish at OCT if we can keep things in control?
You're a monster, Brit Nick. How many miles have you done so far this year?
I was all geed up for doing this myself, but with my partner droppping out I've decided to take the opportunity to cultivate some good-will at home and accrue some brownie points to cash in later in the year.

Have a good one.
