For various sub-optimal reasons, we were unable to see Rob finish later on in the event, but we saw him mid route and this was at about 75 miles. The length of this challenge hides that although this feels towards the end, it’s still an entire challenge event to be completed at this stage. Rob, who is naturally brave, was worn and tired at this stage with the heat having gotten to him. His plan was to spend longer at the checkpoint until the temperature calmed down a bit.
I’m pleased to say that his strategy worked and he finished the event after around 44 hours. Here’s Sarah’s photo of him after his lovely little stroll.
