A challenge my partner and myself set ourselves. He set off from Fort William on MTB at 5.30am on Friday 1st May and finished in Inverness at 3.15pm. I wa there and ready to set off running back to Fort William. An early start and no time for a nap whilst crewing him and a very warm muggy day I was already starting slightly tired. Love the section to Drumnadrochit - beautiful section and I was loving it and then it all went wrong. Alan was supporting me at various points on the route and luckily I was able to get liquid calories into me as was struggling with food. I decide to stick to the low route as I was going into the dark on my own and thought I would feel a bit better nearer the road - that didn't happen. I don't normally feel fear but the very dark forests between Drumnadrochit and Fort Augustus properly freaked me out and I went into fight mode and not run mode. At Fort Augustus the fear started to go but then I was met with mostly 30 flat miles which I am not a fan of. Shuffled into Fort William 21hrs 19 mins later disappointed as I had trained hard and was looking for a much faster time. Will I go back...............??
