I finished my night shift as a Senior Operational Meteorologist before heading out on my run. I began at 08:16 on Friday 17th July. I packed enough water, electrolytes and food to be self sufficient for 5hrs alone before my support crew could come and find me to top me up with supplies and layers. The air temperature was 0.05 Celsius and winds were light 2-3 KT and southwesterly in direction. My first resupply was around 40 KM, thereafter the need for them became more frequent - my crew drove a car ahead of me and I ran to where the car stopped (around 3-5 miles each time to restock with supplies (mostly potatoes, jelly cubes, flapjacks and plenty of electrolytes)). It began to get dark and temperatures dropped to minus 2.9 Celsius shortly before sunrise and to minus 3.8 Celsius through the early afternoon on 18th. The day on the 18th was clear, cold and crisp at temperature or 1.4 Celsius, and overnight minus 4.3 Celsius. The scenery was beautiful, a few steep hills where my poles came in handy and lots of sheep to dodge. The path was unsmoothed gravel at times, mud and towards the end of the run concrete / road (the portion seen on strava). I slept for 30 mins during a restock of food on the first night and 30 mins once i'd reached the main road on the second night.
I ran alone for the whole distance.
I supposedly recorded the activity on my watch (Garmin Enduro 3) though this had a critical error at KM 167.9 KM - I had 6 layers on and must've stopped and when i went to check the distance, it had deleted and gone back onto the regular watch face. I then tracked the rest using just my phone which is the GPX file shown above with the final 25.58 KM.
There is photographic evidence throughout the nearly 48hrs and a photo/video at the start and end.
