    I attempted the 165 km. My first DNF at 61 miles. It was a humbling experience. I sustained an injury at around mile 40 and tried to persevere but there was zero leeway on that course and I eventually 'retired' crushed. I'm still limping around feeling sorry for myself, whilst spending far too long analysing what went wrong. Congratulations on your finish Sarah. The 100km version next year perhaps?!
