What can I say about day 3... erm... it was wet, and cold, and damned hard work! The rain was incessant, forming huge puddles around the course and it was a very cool 6 degrees.
My aim for the day was to slow my pace down to about a 6 hour finish, but with my watch tucked away up my sleeve, I wan't going to keep soaking my arm by untucking it to check on pacing and, for the first time ever, I completed the distance without a clue as to my pace or the time elapsed. Because I am now familiar with the course (same course each day), I knew how far I had done, and how far I had left to go, but that it all. My finish time? 5 hrs 5 mins - just slightly slower than the last 2 days! Dammit - maybe tomorrow I'll manage to slow it more! Physically, everything seems to be holding up just fine. Mentally, today was tough, but we are only 13.1 miles away from the half way point now, which will help with the mental battle I believe. Oh, and to cheer me up... I passed 300 miles for the year today! :-)
