Alas didn't work so had to pull out at 71miles. I think it was about 19hrs. My best time for the full 95 miles of the race is 20:18. Course record is a crazy 13:41. It's through the highlands so it's far from flat, is a mostly stony rough trail with around 10,000ft of ascent/descent.

Hi. Continuing the `running in real life` topic: yesterday I ran 20 km for the first time, took me about 3 hours. I was totally drained. I wonder how people make 95 miles (152 km). Robert, what time did it take you to cover 71 miles?

(Was that requirement > somewhere in Vulkan end-user agreement? :P) Didn't think about work for a second :-) I just love trail running, and covering the 95 miles of the West Highland Way long distance walking route is a great experience, it's beautiful route going through the highlands, and the race atmosphere is great, very much an experience of being among friends than competitive. I've completed the race in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, so was going for my 5th finish. Alas on Saturday the day didn't go to plan and I ended up with stomach and sleep deprivation issues so decided to pull out at mile 71, there was a few high paces left to cover in the dark which I felt was just a bit too risky without feeling better. Still had an amazing day, the discomfort pales into insignificance next to rest of the experience.

Hi. Any particular reason for running the whole day?

[osg-users] This weekend is about to get crazy - I have 95 miles to run!
Hi All, When not coding and running around after my family I like to go running, and to maximize the amount of fun that can be had running why not do it all day!! :-) My race starts at 1am Saturday on the west side of Glasgow, follows the West Highland Way, and finishes 95 miles (152km) later in Fort William.All going well I'll arrive late on Saturday or perhaps Sunday morning. If I'm a bit sleepy next week you'll know why... Have a great weekend, and yes leave those keyboards behind and explore the great outdoors :-D Robert. ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
