Well yesterday i completed the grandly named "Rowbotham's Round Rotherham International" which is 50 mile race along trails and footpaths around the South Yorkshire town of Rotherham.
My aim for the day was to walk the entire course, which i did in 13 hours 37 mins, navigation was quite challenging once it got dark, so at least 30 mins was spent double checking the route, actually going the wrong way, and waiting for other people to discuss the route.
Spent the first 30 miles walking with a guy called Andrew, this was the 19 time he had completed the event, i think he saw me as a bit of a 'Southern Softy' so i think he would be quite shocked that i finished only 20mins or so behind him.
There was a number of other MDS competitors competing (we stand out a mile with our shiny new RaidLight rucksacks), most of them running.
All in all a good day, a couple of blisters on my heals, but apart from that in really good shape and a great confidence booster of a day.
