:15:23. > :15:29.I am striding out, uphill and into the pitch black, beginning what
:15:29. > :15:34.I am striding out, uphill and into challenge yet. After an hour and 20
:15:34. > :15:46.checkpoint. The rain has made this I think I have cried. This is so
:15:46. > :16:03.hard. Every step is painful, but I I am annoyed that the feet have
:16:03. > :16:09.Part is physical but mental as well. So, it hurts but suck it up. Are we
:16:09. > :16:18.going already? A quick drink and time to head uphill over the bumpy,

:16:21. > :16:31.not good. It is really good to see Two hours in, we are still Yomping
:16:31. > :17:01.driving rain. It is difficult to As we arrive into checkpoint two. It
:17:01. > :17:07.is becoming apparent that one of the difficulties I am facing is the
:17:07. > :17:11.size. My legs are shorter than the other recruits. As they walk, I
:17:11. > :17:14.size. My legs are shorter than the having to run to keep up. I am
:17:14. > :17:17.beginning to feel the pain. What is that, ten miles? Please, tell me it
:17:17. > :17:25.It has given me a chance to get that, ten miles? Please, tell me it
:17:25. > :17:33.I am getting blisters on the back of the heels. That is inevitable, isn't
:17:33. > :17:42.it? Oh, a pasty, that is tough eating. If you can manage a pasty at
:17:42. > :17:53.When is it over? If she can keep with the pace, she should achieve
:17:53. > :17:57.I'm coming. With two thirds of the Yomp remaining, it is time to set
:17:57. > :17:59.off again. I was told before I started that there is a point where
:17:59. > :18:05.the Yomp stops being a physical started that there is a point where
:18:05. > :18:11.and it becomes a battle of the mind. This is where I start to see what
:18:11. > :18:15.that means. Halfway into the Yomp, I am not really talking coherently.
:18:15. > :18:22.That is worrying the Marines. This is hard. There is no two ways about
:18:22. > :18:24.it. I cannot say, this, that the other, I'm exhausted. My feet are
:18:24. > :18:34.painful. The weight of the pack other, I'm exhausted. My feet are
:18:34. > :18:36.the brutal terrain. By checkpoint three, Warren is growing concerned

:18:49. > :19:19.Right now, it is in serious doubt three, Warren is growing concerned
:19:19. > :19:27.to shut up and get on. How many Barely a mile out of checkpoint
:19:27. > :19:30.to shut up and get on. How many the Marines have decided to take the
:19:30. > :19:36.backpack off me. I don't want to lose it but the Marines think the
:19:36. > :19:42.without the weight. I have to think about getting to the finish on time.
:19:42. > :19:50.Helen's aim is to finish. I believe The next few hours are a battle
:19:50. > :19:53.Helen's aim is to finish. I believe will power to finish. It is against
:19:54. > :19:58.mile after mile of Dartmoor terrain. I have dropped behind the pace of
:19:58. > :20:06.the recruits but I can't let them get out of sight or I run the risk
:20:06. > :20:21.of being pulled from the Yomp. I approach checkpoint 4, physically, I
:20:21. > :20:25.didn't mean chin up, I just want to I thought you meant mentally, chin
:20:25. > :20:32.up! I cannot go out on a low. I I thought you meant mentally, chin
:20:32. > :20:39.to finish on time. Then I will be ex-tatic. Right now, it is literally
:20:39. > :20:46.feeling like a mountain to climb. But unfortunately, the last leg
:20:46. > :20:55.Warren and the Marines are doing all that they can to keep my spirits up.
