riggsy99 Nov 2019 2:08pm, 16 Nov 2019 218 posts	0 riggsy99 Back from Rother valley and pleased to say as a couple of you have correctly found out I have successfully finished the sub 3:15 year with a 3:05.51 Fourth overall and 1st mv45 (not bad for a 49 year old). Paths were ok just a few big puddles that it was easier to run through than risk slipping on the mud by running around. Will blog later about my terrible pacing but really pleased with the race
