Notes

The Moonlight Challenge was awesome. Conditions very tough as the offroad sections (60% of the coure) were pretty much liquid and with 80 - 100 people trampling over it getting ample footing was beating up the legs pretty bad. I expended a lot of energy just trying to keep upright and despite my best efforts I ended up falling over 3 times. Fueling went well (2 bananas was enough to keep me going) had a bad moment at mile 23 but got over it pretty quickly. Went out very fast for the first 18 miles and subsequently paid for this later (partly conditions related to) but was good to try out a new strategy. Mileage clocked slightly differs from course length mainly due to the fact you couldn't follow the quickest line due to conditions. Full report to follow later, legs feeling ok and a bit dissapointed not to break 5 hours but I think I managed Top 10 placing so that was good.
