Just starting day three, feet sore but all ok. Amazing out there. Just trying to keep going. Thanks for your messages guys

7 am arctic time guys, its beautiful

An hour before we start, slept in a tent on a reindeer skin and kept sliding off. Crazy dream about Paul Daniels carrying waterbottles. Got some breakfast down. Bag weighs a tonne, couldn't not bring my moisturiser. Got bizarre Norway radio reporter doing an interview. All surreal.  Love it

Amazing here

I'm off now

Well guys, I'm off now to eat, meet the race people, go for briefings and kit check. I've bumped into a few runners at the hotel yesterday - they looked seriously athletic / competitive / fast. I'm fairly sure they won't be starting at the back with me.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to write anything while we are out there, - I couldn't get 4g cover on my phone when I arrived, and I should imagine that it will be impossible. So, I'll post something if I can, if not I'll try and remember some interesting stuff. Oh, and take pics : after all, I Am on holiday!

Wish me good vibes this week, please - y

The race is situated in the Northern part of Sweden, inside the Arctic circle, the Jokkmokk area on the map.
