Day 2 - Coast to Coast, Scunthorpe to Doncaster. We were excited about starting day 2, both eager to get running/cycling... What a day, should have chosen a more interesting route, long straight roads that went on for miles and miles.... mental strength required. Legs felt ok but did get heavier as the miles went on, the 4 mile stop for drink and snack helped. Got through my 15 miles in a time of 2 hrs 9 mins, quite happy with that, keep on at that pace and the Loch Ness Marathon in September will easily be finished in under 4hrs ( i wish and hope). Changeover at 15 miles, time to get warm and feed up, on the bike legs felt great (at first) roads got more interesting as we travelled through north Doncaster. Dave was off on his run and had heavy legs from day 1, he was enjoying day 2. The second half we found the trans pennine trail and made our way to Dave's house, he was happy to be home. So total mileage for Day 2 was 26.92 miles. Time to be fed and relaxed for a long Day 3, which by the way will not be updated until Thursday. Cheers John n Dave.
