65km - ULTRA MARATHON!!!

Tackled 65km on the weekend... Sore as hell on Saturday night and Sunday but managed it!!!!!
Ran it in 8hrs 5mins and took the full back pack with 3 litres of water - 10am to 5pm no stops, ate while walking / running.... Only 3 x toilet stops and battled with the wind which really really pis*ed me off......
Not much more to say on that apart from I need my head tested.... So I'm off...
Happy Training
