2000 miles - The Pretenders

My word it felt like 2000 miles today as we drove around the '9bar ULTRArace 100' course. It rained of course as it's June in England during Wimbledon but we also had bright sunshine and saw some wonderful houses and countryside along the way.

In short, it's brutal, it's long and totally relentless... all those taking part are taking on a Goliath of an ULTRA.

We will endeavour to blog here during the race and report on the action, as it happens so bookmark this blog for the weekend...

More tomorrow... on the build up for the race. We already have a blind runner, wheelchair athlete and a hot-air balloon at the start, whatever next...
