Two full timers and two part timers toed the line for this oft frequented race. The course is mostly rural, and on this occasion made even more interesting by the addition of copious quantities of water, which the fire brigade had not managed to remove entirely.
By the half way point we had settled into our ultimate respective finishing positions:- YJ, Rachel M, Matt, then you-know-who.
The race was won by Rob Affleck of Preston in 33:52 with Hannah Oldroyd of UK Netrunners first lady, 18th overall in 38:05.
YJ, as he is wont to do, picked up a bottle of wine as first V75 (and probably first V70) in a time of 49:13, with my girl not far behind in 49:47, both in the first half of the field. Matt finished in 62:00 whilst I was some way behind him, thankfully omitted from the results.
The only point of interest for me was my claim to a slightly unusual injury, in that I scratched my nose crawling through a hedge (?) and caused some concern with my bloodied appearance as I crossed the line.
