    Into the wild

      Great effort Jerry. I'm sure you are somewhat disappointed but there are some massive experiences to take from this one. Well done mate. Respect.

      Shut up and run

        Jerry - I have already left you a couple of messages, but ditto what Johnny said. Have a well earned rest,

        and I am sure you will take the positives from this HUGE run so that you enter the next event with an even

        better understanding of you and your needs during these extreme challenges.

         

        I hope Jerry doesn't mind, but I would also like to say a massive well done to George who was running with Jerry, 

        he finished GUCR in 43hrs, and I assume he may still be catching up on his sleep Smile
