I’m sick. I can’t even respond. I don’t even know what you’re talking about.

No need to respond

I find the drive in people who attempt feats like this amazing. The power of the human spirit.

In an update last night

He went through a bad patch and his support crew was worried enough to take him to the emergency room / A&E at a nearby hospital. A few tests were done and he was given the OK to carry on.

So he is carrying on.

Now over half way through and about 80km behind target.

He has now packed / aborted.
