September 23 – Hove to Arundel

Approx. 42km (26 miles)

The night before and the nerves really started to set in!  What have I done, it is my first ever Ultra Marathon, am I mad? I am sure most people would enter a simple marathon for their first event and then work themselves up to an Ultra Marathon! Well, if you do not know me by now you have realised that I do not do things by halves, when I set my mind on doing something I want to do it!

I was meant to be walking over twenty-six miles tomorrow, and I am now questioning myself. How am I going to do that? It has been so hot this week and tomorrow is forecast to be the same, how am I going to make it through??
