Right so – I’m a little nervous. We had a cracking day on Sunday – absolutlely stormed round the course of the Oxfam Cambridge Walk – 26 miles, all of them really well marshalled and signposted, and the day drenched us in some blistering sunshine. However it is to be noted that this was a bit of a race against time – we had three routed to complete, of 13 miles, 9 miles then 4 miles before 4.30pm. This is the closest to Trailwalker we’ve come so far, and we were some of the fastest folk on the course – but still loads of people overtook us. It was because we stopped loads on checkpoints. We did some great work for our stamina and had a brill aerobic workout but mashed up our feet going superfast and then had lots of blistercare, so didn’t gain anything in terms of time. Ouch. Don’t want to do that on the big day. Our team is resolved to talk about pace- find out what’s best for us. And keep practicing! We barely stopped to take pics cos we were so completley nails, but enjoy the few photies all the same.
