Flower Scar Weds 5th May 4m/1400ft

Nearly caught him, but was foiled by a 4ft high brick wall to climb just before the finishing field. Colin made a nifty manoeuvre using the adjacent wooden gate post. I got tangled up with the two women in front making a bit of a meal of it.

The gap's closing though, now at 13 secs! http://www.todharriers.co.uk/flowerscar/flowerscar2010res.htm
We both agreed it'd been a very 'cheeky' 4 miler. Especially when you'd put the extra little spurt in to reach the summit marshall only to find the 'cheeky b******' had added another even steeper hill to climb. Mind you, we had been warned by Graham Schofield just before the off.

On reaching the proper summit I was one of a few runners entrusted with the responsibility of carrying a very delicate carnation flower back to the finish. I didn't lose a single petal, although it now needs a very 'art nouveau' vase to keep it in as the stem didn't do so well.
