Tim De-feeted...

Yikes... We are down to just two runners this morning as Tim Elliot's valiant JOGLE Ultra attempt finished in Penrith last night. How he managed to run the 60+ miles, yes RUN the 60+ miles yesterday, we will never know, as his feet have just been battered into submission.

It's a real shame as he had put in a super-human effort to get out of Scotland and it leaves us with just two runners today as we head towards Garstang, near Preston.

  2. Tim. You are a star! So sorry to see your JOGLE is over, but by God you have well and truly thrown down the gauntlet! Not that I'm going anywhere near it to pick it up, you understand... Well done. Back home for tea and medals eh.
