So, I might have been a bit hasty - I've entered an ultra marathon. That might not be a big deal to some people but I'm 52 and at this point in time, I can barely shuffle around a parkrun.
The race I've entered is the Firelighter which is the first day of a larger, 3 day ultra marathon, - the Ring of Fire which follows the beautiful Anglesey Coast Path.
Race stats: 35.7 miles (57.2km) - time limit 9 hours - elevation c2,880ft (877m).
I read somewhere that, a challenge is only a challenge, when there is a chance of failure - so my personal challenge is just to finish within the time limit and trust me, that will be difficult enough!
Race date is 1st September 2023 - 37 weeks 4 days from today.
This blog will chart my progress, follow the ups and downs and document my learning process. Feel free to add helpful comments!
