Run To Sun Update (winners)
Ok Sean Miesser has won. Fukio from Japan second and Jamie Armstrong from Canada third. I was awoken by a loud thunderclap this morning at about 4:30 a.m. I guess that was my due for not toeing the line at the start of Run to Sun this year as that is about the start time….

Miles More To Go….
