Day 3 - Burnham-on-Crouch to Harwich
Day 3 of this expedition is where things get a bit messier. As I mentioned before, two days cycling one day running, and this is the running day...
Now one would think that having a history of running one would be more optimistic about the running days, and I'd agree, if it was a mere marathon or 10 miles, but this kind of running that I'm proposing leaves one in a suspicious frame of mind.
(You might have noticed that I propose to end and start my various days at the rail station of various towns/ cities and that is for no other reason than to keep things simple for myself.)

Starting around 5:00 am on 3 September 2012 at Burnham-on-Crouch rail station, and progressing towards Harwich, one of the Haven ports, located on the coast with the North sea to it's east. This journey is not so much a coastal route due to the geographical nature of the countryside which would make it very hard to follow the coastal route. But instead I would weave to and from the coast passing through towns/ cities such as; Maldon, Heybridge, past the Universality of Colchester and ending at Harwich Town station.
The projections for this day if we look at the total ascent of 1306ft, descent 1335ft and maximum height 128ft, would propose it to be a relatively smooth day, however remembering the past two days of cycling with joint distance of close to 240 miles and the distance covered in Day 3 being 51 miles on foot (nearly two marathons back to back).
I think it can be safe to say as I mentioned earlier, to view this day with a suspicious frame of mind even with a running history. Here is a link to Day 3 to have a closer look at the journey planned for this day,

Finally, I would like to remind everyone reading this blog, that the reason I'm attempting this is not for personal gain or fame but to raise awareness of the lack of information available to the general public about A: how we can limit the emotional pain created by this very real and destructive disease and
B: how to look for potential triggers.
The Haven Breast Cancer Support Centre is one very individual charity that have grasped the true essence of caring for and building life changing habits that support women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. It is also for The Haven that I am fundraising and making an appeal to sponsor me any amount to reach my goal of £100,000 which would finance the treatment for 100 women.
