Well done Craig, great video. I was some way behind you 131/164 must admit that I was forever looking down at the timing chip especially through the long grass sections. It was my first Ultra and not to be my last.
Well done mate, it was a really fun day and the weather was great. The long grassy section has got to be one of the dodgiest parts of an ultra I've done before. No idea if I was going to slip to the left or right at a moments notice, and I actually tripped over in a hole at one point and face planted. All part of the fun. Good luck for your future ultras.
Top running Craig! I heard great things about the race. Looks like a decent event. Great to finish in the track. That Mike guys a bit of a hunk 🤣 keep the great content coming mate! 😎🤘
Hi Craig I found I believe your chip well before the first aid station ,around just past the Medway bridge section? I forgot to hand it in at the first aid station but handed it into the 2nd one I believe and if it was yours then glad it got to you but if not I hope that person got it 👌 well done on your run and video 🤓👍
You are a legend for handing the chip in, whether it was mine or someone else's! Thank you Frank. Hope you had a good race if you ran it or if you were a volunteer. I literally didn't realise the chip was gone until the race organisers told me. Cheers mate, what you did was very kind.
Thanks! I just used my Hoka Speedgoat 5s which are my general trail all rounder. They were fine for the race but the muddy section would be a problem for any shoes, unless you wore some with aggressive tread/lugs but I don't think that would have been sensible given the mainly dry conditions.
Thanks Conrad! Hope you've been doing well? Did you do your ultra in the end, have any booked? Haha, the bearded bandit strikes again. Thought I'd try the rugged look for a while, not sure I can pull it off....
@@runningcafe1 I did! London to Brighton 100k last Saturday. Ended up going 105k. Was MILES harder than I expected and took me 16h40 but I did it and was super proud of myself. It was such a long way tho!
Beard on point 👌🏽 🧔🏽♂️

Cheers Ben, congrats on your 100 miler recently. Impressive stuff mate. Yes, great to have a cameo from Mike in the video!
Great effort. It was deceivingly hot out there
Congratulations on your time, 5th place everybody. It was very hot indeed
I was wondering how you managed to get the entire race into a 7 minute video. The battery issue explains it! Excellent running, Craig 👍🏻🏃♂️
I'd like to say it's the pesky battery life of a Go Pro camera, but it was my professionalism for not bringing a spare! Thanks Mark

I was 10 minutes behind you at the finish m8 👌
For such mixed terrain what sort of shoes did you wear for that?
Enjoy your videos BTW!

That was a good run eh. That last 5k or so that loops around Tonbridge went on forever. I had a good run and came in 16th in around 5h14m.
Congratulations on a great performance and time. The last 5km seemed to go on forever for sure. All made up by the epic track finish
Well done Craig 😊. For a moment I thought a bearded guy had hacked your channel 😂
