Not everyone will finish each race - their body may decide today isn’t the day, they may pull out or get timed out, then there’s the ever present threat of succumbing to injury
The behind the scenes safety protocol & assets that are permanently ready throughout the race won’t be the headline of the weekend. They’re humble people, patient & a quiet race is a good race to them
I was fortunate to see one of the teams at work yesterday on the @glencoeskyline, after a runner a few meters above me on the mountain, unfortunately couldn’t run on, due to a knee injury. While the radio network sprang to life & the rescue team advanced on our position, he shared his story with me
A great guy & great work by all those involved
#mountainrescue #teamwork
Total domination
Victoria Wilkinson tore up the @mamoresvk, a mix of lower trail, steep bog & a ridge line of boulders, to take the women’s victory by over 5 minutes
Such was her concentration, her eyes were focused solely on the trail, picking out her line, while I ran to either side
