Tomorrow morning I’m going to try and chase the men’s unsupported record. Hoping to go under 3 hours

I am attempting to set the women's unsupported record on the 28th. Also hoping to go under 3 hours.

I’m going to try for the FKT today but it’ll be in the 50+ year old category so no worries for the leaders. Although my goal is top 5

So I did it in 2:25:03 but missed a short section on the Jobs trail. Think that I could shave off at least 5 minutes by using gaiters, taking no photos and not fumbling with my phone and glasses trying to see the route
