They just did a piece on BBC Breakfast on Jasmin and contacted her for a comment. They said, due to all the heavy breathing over the course of the event, she’d lost the ability to speak so could only respond by text :scream:

Well done Tunster and Mrs T, hope she can get into OCC

Sounds a bit like early hypothermia? I get it post exercise if it’s cold.

Yeah it was a good little event as always. Not many people but a super chilled and relaxed vibe.

Winner did 26 laps in the 24 hrs. So think around 145kms with 6,500m ascent! Top lady did really well. She was a lap or two up on the top 2 guys, but called it a day with a few hours to go as she said she was in bits.

Mudfest as you can imagine. So kudos to all!

Good stuff. The main question is, did Justin put on chips again? :smile:

I can’t abide the Guardian but did click, then I saw it was from Sean Ingle. Give that a hard pass then. :roll_eyes:

Sleep deprivation and hallucinations are common though, and the main cause of ghost sightings!

It’s good to see she’s getting recognition of the achievement though :+1:

it’s just an interview

I’ve had a couple of good ones. The scariest one was when I didn’t want to disturb the ‘witch’ that was hunched over on the side of the trail. I did look for another way around, then realised it was a bush. :man_facepalming: :smile:

Glad to say I’ve never got that bad and it’s one reason why I’d never do anything that long. Sleep deprivation really hammers me.

CCC was bad enough!

Tbh I’ve just read it and didn’t learn anything new. But I’m pleased she’s getting the recognition she deserves :blush:
