I seem to be finding myself back in the pain cave recently and this was another adventure into how bad can leg cramps really get.... The answer is, very bad in 34 degree weather with maximum salt and minimal water. by @_ed.armstrong_

Wild Horse 200 Mid Wales Completed!!!
206 Miles with 32,431ft Climbing
(332km 10,000m)

81hrs 04mins

12th out of 65 starters

Words cannot describe this adventure. I will never forget the highs, the lows and the really lows of this race. Feet covered in blisters, shouting inspiration movie quotes and Hallucinating due to sleep deprivation, this race had it all.
Luckily I had the best pit crew and pacer to ever exist, dealing with my feet, my mind and my pack. We laughed, cried, argued and celebrated, thankyou @darrenarmstrong508 for putting up with me and making it possible.
Also huge thankyou to @obreecoaching for getting me fit and ready to complete this monumental achievement.
I wish I could put my whole race into this caption but unfortunately it would be too long.

I am only left with one question... What's next?

Scott Cheviot Goat Goat 2025 Completed!
60miles
12900ft (3900m) climbing
16hrs 59mins 27seconds
26th out of 150 people who started

The last big event of one hell of a year of big events, so glad to finish the year on a high. After wading through miles of waist high bog, shin deep freezing water and getting lost in thick mist in the dark on what I can only describe as Dartmoor on steroids!
Glad to complete the hardest event I have done to date and can’t wait to see what the next challenge will be!!

Thankyou @coldbrewevents @scottsportsuk for the putting on such amazing event. by @_ed.armstrong_

Outlaw full distance triathlon ✅
12hrs 24minutes 11second
2.4miles of swimming (1hr 16)
112 miles of cycling. (5hr 44)

Biggest event to date and one of the most challenging. Had an absolute blast, smashed the swim and bike then went out to fast on the marathon bonking around the 10mile mark and slogging the last 16. I’ve learnt allot and can’t wait till my next full distance.

Thankyou to all who came and supported. Much appreciated 🙌 by @_ed.armstrong_
