Well that didn't go to plan.....

well after months of training and planning it all went horribly wrong after just 35 miles....I had not been feeling 100% for a week or so and had had very little sleep in the days leading up to the race, for the first few miles i felt great with the temps around -40 and was moving well but very rapidly i got very tired to the point that at one point I'm pretty sure that i fell asleep while walking and i hadn't even got to the arctic circle!! at the arctic circle i took too the support vehicle and had some food and set off again but with little change after a few more miles i withdrew from the race...so that it's another year and another failure, the plan is to see how i feel in a couple of days time and then give the 120 miles from Inuvik to Tuk along the ice road a go.
