2 minutes faster than last year – 1 hour 1 minute. Found it
very hard. Didn’t walk, apart from some of the uphill – there is 1,600’ of it
though so that’s my excuse! Tim Ruck beat me, after promising to do so at the
start – I think he was still sore after me beating him at Herod Farm back in
April J
Took the path along the edge this time, as opposed to cutting across the
tussocks. I think the tussocks are easier, if you can find a good line. This
course is very runnable but the distance combined with the climb makes it very
painful too! The pint in the Boar’s Head afterwards was very welcome.
