Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

The winter @spinerace.bsky.social just got more brutal. The rules are changing next year, reducing the overall time allowed for completion from 168hrs (7 full days) to 156hrs. And the total time allowed for competitors to rest in Checkpoints is reduced from 8 to 6hrs. #SpineRace

Today, I've mostly been making #marmalade.
Classic Delia Smith recipe, with a few spoons of black treacle.

This time last week I had no idea what an adventure I would be having on the Pennine Way #spinerace.
(I've already downloaded the race pack for the Winter Challenger North!)

Oh no! Kevin Munt has retired at Housesteads. His race has finished with about 50 miles to go. Juan Patjane still trails behind the red lantern by about 2 miles and needs to get to Bellingham before ?midnight to make the cut off..

The department I lead on this race is 170+ people strong. I place teams at 10 locations along the 268 mile Pennine Way to care for athletes as they tackle their brutal challenges.
I am so proud of the work that they do

Kevin Munt #205 and Juan Patjane #221 have been together for a lot of the #SpineRace yo-yoing with the black lantern. Now there is a little gap & Juan has fallen behind. Perfect pacing?

A long post about my experience of the Challenger South #SpineRace. This was my 1st 100-mile race. My longest race before this was Lakes in a Day (50 miles), & a BGR attempt that finished at Honister. However, I had trained hard since October, doing 32-35 mile runs, and felt ready to give it a go.

I made it to Hawes, 47 hours after leaving Edale. Very pleased to finish my first 💯 miler. Feel we had the full range of Spine weather. Day 1 beautiful snow with packed snow underfoot. Day 2 intermittent rain/sleet, sheet ice underfoot & strong wind that made the final leg from Horton interesting.

I've made it to CP 1 at Hebden Hey. Meanwhile the leaders are beyond Gargrave. Great weather today.
Very icy and have mangled one of my YakTrax. Fortunately a very generous runner who is not continuing has lent me his pair. #308

This is the kit I'm hauling 100 miles up the Pennine Way through the snow ❄️, will probably be wearing half of it!

Storm Goretti is due to make the @spinerace.bsky.social interesting. For those dot-watching, the start of the Challenger South race & Sprint South have been put back to 10am & 1pm on Saturday morning. This is due to train cancellations planned between tomorrow & Friday.

Went for a slog up the very wintry Carneddau in North Wales. Testing out my Spine layering to see how it fares in the cold. Waist deep snow in some places.

8 days until my Spine CS! 2 planned runs left next week, one gym visit and two clinical shifts this weekend where I'll be trying to dodge any last-minute viruses.
Last minute race organisation in full flow, mainly sorting out my CP routine & printing it & useful notes to myself.

Happy to finish the year with some pre-work hill reps. Takes me over 300km for the month & over 6000m ascent. This is the most distance I've run in a month, and takes me to within a marathon of my yearly target. Think I am physically ready for my southern Spine adventure.

Finished my biggest volume week with a run from Crowden to Black Moss reservoir (& back) on the Pennine Way with my full kit on. Weather was mizzly and misty. (No good in glasses!) Underfoot was pretty wet & muddy.
Easy week coming up now. #ultrarunning

I've done my planned longest run last week (35 miles)..picked a beautiful day for it on the Clywdian Range in North Wales, running from dawn until dusk. I was pleased with how I felt at the end. I have a big couple of mileage weeks coming up, including a bimble on the Pennine Way. #ultrarunning
