And that, my friends, is the difference between a winner and a loser. When Mats Nilsson is "utterly exhausted wet and cold" he kicks her into life a heads off into the rain for the next 40km section of gruelling track. When I am "feeling a bit weary, think it might start raining soon, and have to zip up my jacket" I head for the carpark, hot coffee and a pie
