All good pal soundā¦ Thereās a few nappies in the car, do you reckon one would absorb an adult piss? cc @Bandage
Inspired somewhat by @Mac, I did my first half of the year on the hills, albeit at a much slower pace than Mac did.
We picked a somewhat handier route than usual, staying low in the mountains, so lower elevation per km. No big climbs, no big descents, just constantly rolling. Some fairly technical trail and a bit of finding sheep trail. We jogged til about 12km when we need to take a stop as my running partner needed some time in the woods and jogged back through what we now refer to as the ādead sheep trailā. Got back to the car around 16k, and my man who has been fasting was done. I switched my water flask for another in the car and said Iād get the extra bit in but ended up having to run a few km on road. Where I thought there was a stile to cross there wasnāt and Iām wary of going over fences when thereās no clear access. I donāt want to piss off sheep farmers. When I eventually made my way back up onto the lower side of a mountain it was a little bit of hiking up. Decided not to go too far up and found a mixture of a mtb trail and a sheep path and made the rest up as I went along til I came back out at the road.

Do you ever drink Coke Zero? Tastes similar enough I think and no calories
PS up to 109km for April and about 3900 metres of climbing. That actually does put yesterdayās race for Paddy O Leary into more perspective @Mac

Have never tried it. 
Keep it that way. There is speculation that the artificial sweetener used in diet coke/ coke zero/ Pepsi Max etc breaks down into a neurotoxin.

From China?
I got a cheapo knockoff version on Amazon. Not the official model.
It will change your life.
Good listen this. Takes a good while to get to it but they start talking about a 50 mile race probably halfway through thatās runners v horses in Arizona.
