My run yesterday was a quick 17.3km along the escarpment and took 1:14. It feels like a long time ago now, the last 20h filled by napping, eating, traveling and shuttling runners. We are now stationed in Collingwood and the night runners are coming and going. Now, up at 3am and excited for my Leg 19 run! Over 20km near Lake Eugeneia with some good hills.
Yesterday, we pulled back the lead to to 15minutes going tonight's running. Unfortunately, it stretched back to 51minutes, so we have some time to make up today.
The night has been fairly eventful with runners starting to get tired! The course is wet with fog and rain and the hills are here. Ankles are rolling, knees are sore, but we are nearing the 1/2 way point!
Discovery Channel was here yesterday getting some footage and Robyn has taken thousands of photos. Still to be uploaded, so here are Mike's photos for now!

Perhaps a shorter pump is the answer?
Hi Patrick,
Interesting study. Can't help but compare it to our BT hike: 2007,400.5km in 20 hikes over 26 days; 2008,510.8km (re-routes)in 26 hikes over 33 days. Temps 2 to 35 degrees, throw Hurrican Ike into the mix. A few falls in the wet; no injuries, a few bug stings; wet feet 3wks consecutively. Average speed 4-5km/hr.
Your media coverage has been great. Good luck, stay focused, stay stong. Pat G. MB
Good job Patrick - Keep it up!
