    Our very own Ultraman1 is taking part in this Ultra event - see here for more details. The race started 7 hours ago and a mere 41 hours remain. Bear that in mind those of you who are counting down the sleeps for the Connemara Ultra :D

    Still fourth after 10hrs. The fact that he hasn't wandered off course into Turkey is a feat in itself.

    Impressive running overnight by Anto, fifth now, after 21 hours. Very tight between 3-7th places at this stage.

    He's back moving again after sneaki kip and managed an average of 6km per hour over the last 5 hours.

    200k in and it looks like another sneaki kip (that or he's hit the ouzo bars). Great running Anto.

    Awesome performance Anto! Looking forward to reading how you got on, if you can find the time (or energy) to put together some thoughts on the experience.
    Congratulations!
