Set off from St Catherine's point just before 2pm in ideal weather conditions of 22 degrees and a light south westerly breeze. Once the first couple of miles uphill were completed it was then a case of aiming to do a steady succession of sub 8 minute miles over the rest of the route which was predominately downhill or flat. Refuelling with an SIS gel was done every 4.5 miles which worked perfectly in breaking up the overall distance and maintaining energy levels. Arrived in Cowes for the final sprint along the seafront to the finish at Egypt point.
