(continued from Stage three here) I’d made it to the final stage…woohoo! Today I woke up in a good bit of discomfort- the bedsheets were sticking to parts of my road rashed body and I felt very stiff and sore. This was going to be the shortest stage in distance (55km) so at least I had that comfort. I also had the added challenge …
Stage 3 of Kerry MacPhee’s Med Epic race
(continued from Stage two here) This was the queen stage… the really long stage of the 4.

Kerry MacPhee’s beach race – stage one
(continued from first article here) The first stage started at 9.30am at Playa de la Concha… the beach! It was so clear that it was freezing in the morning and I was almost as wrapped up as I would be on a crispy clear Scottish morning. I’d recced the start of the course the previous day and knew it …
Kerry MacPhee places 4th as she races the Mediterranean epic in Spain!
When I saw this 4 day stage race in the calendar, aptly named the Mediterranean Epic, held about an hour north of Valencia in a place called Oropesa del Mal, I instantly thought that it looked like a great early season opportunity to escape the Scottish weather, race some really strong girls and on some brutal and rough terrain.
