On Saturday night Steve (my coach) and I stood in the torrential rain at the start line of  ‘The Oner’ with 30 other keen ultra runners. We had run for only 6 miles of the 78.6 mile race when the organisers took the decision to cancel due to the horrendous weather conditions.

Worse news was to come; the decision was made to resume at 5:30am the following morning and to reduce the distance to only 54 miles. Steve and I were keen to complete the full 78.6 miles as I needed to experience a race close to the distance of the Enduroman Arch to Arc.

The decision was made, as others headed for a good nights sleep, Steve and I pulled from the race and at our own risk carried on regardless. Amasingly 4 hours later the rain had cleared up and we were feeling good.

The scenery was breathtaking but there was no time for sigh seeing, we were on a mission. After 23 hour we made …..  a really successful weekend A massive thank you to Steve’s wife Lucy and Greg for their amasing support following us throughout in the ENDUROVAN!
