So the first running of this event..... a Hilly XC 5m race... cant be that hard.... oh yes it can... I know the hills and was sure it was going to hurt and it did....

Made nicely interesting by the heavy rain the last few days, studs were the only option...

A nice warm up and chat with locals and fetchies and off to teh start....

1m - 8:20 - Yes a Hill, then a steep ****** climb knew it was there and took it steady,

2m - 6:48 - The top and time to open the legs quickly move up the field from 18th to 12th and feel good. The studs are doing the job, feet soaking wet mind you and very muddy...
3m - 6:37 - Up to 10th and pushing and all alone 100m ahead at least and 75m behind.
4m - 7:36 - The sting, half way down, turn and up, up and up 100m of 1 in 2/3 in long grass.
5m - 6:08 - the best for last WWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE down the hill all the way to the finish...

Cross the line in 10th 35:31 and 3rd V Male (£15 running shop voucher) 1st prize in running and very happy indeed.

Great new race, not easy, but great all on a dodgey tummy as the pizza last night wasnt best and didnt feel too great last night or this morning... now out the system....
