A wee video from my 2011 attempt on the Lakeland 100. Injury forced me out at 49 miles so I was back again in 2012. A lack of moral fibre saw me withdraw at 75 miles. In fairness I was off guiding in Greenland a couple of days later and so my head wasn't in to pushing myself to my limit but still a great event to be part of. 2013 looks like being a (very) warm one which doesn't play to the strengths of a 90kg mountaineer! In fact my last ultra was in knee deep snow which after a winter season guiding on the Scottish hills wasn't a great chore. This weekend is going to be slow and steady and hoping to pick up the pace during the hours of darkness. I've even given myself a day off on the Monday so no excuses with not pushing to the bitter end...
