Nice one Jim. Very well done.
I particularly like the comment about the low point / pep talk after leg 2. On my round a couple of years ago, Jim, who supporting somebody else on leg 2 and was still at the cars at Dunmail, did just that for me.
> Jim hit a low point after dropping time on this leg and with a niggling hamstring was close to pulling out, until Steve his pacer gave him a pep talk highlighting all the positives, spurring Jim to carry on. After another running changeover, Jim started leg 3 with a fiery determination.
I'd had a pretty bad leg 2 in the mist, made lots of navigation errors, taken some very poor lines on Fairfield & Seat Sandal and I got to Dunmail over 2 hours down on my planned schedule. My support crew, and Jim, managed to find some words to get me up and moving again. Fortunately I never hit another low point and by the time I was down in Wasdale it was starting to look like it was on. Thanks Jim - and all the others!
