I made the mistake of going quite hard at the "stupidly steep" road start, but the few people behind me soon started overtaking, and by the summit I felt sure I must be near the back
I threw in a slight diversion on the first descent, which allowed another 4 runners to outflank me, and settled in for the run back feeling confident
just for good measure, I threw in another, more major diversion, losing about 10-12 mins, but BLAST! what was this? as I rejoined the route there were 2 lasses running together just behind me <doh!>
I thought there was a good chance they were actually sweeping the course, but there was a nagging thought that they might have their names put into the results anyway...
the final descent started with a lovely runnable section through bracken, which I enjoyed, and pulled away from the ladies :o
the final section was on very steep road, and I started to suffer, and heard tell-tale footfalls getting closer behind me...
the 2 charming young ladies cruised past me about 20 yards from the finish, and my mission was complete:
56th out of 56

now we can truly say that the Ponies welcome all-comers! :)

Well done that slug! I thought I was in with a real chance of last at The Duddon Valley but sadly it looks as if I will have to try something longer and harder (oo err! missus!)

Older tired men I'm led to believe also develop a tendency to head south,(not myself as yet you understand) . However when this happens a little blue pill is available from certain spurious quarters, just be carefull with drugs testing. ;):D

ps. Nice one Daz.:)

(And also nice to see there are other ponies out there with my sort of ability, not just race winners and Bob graham finishers!:D)

Ponies who win races are a tiny minority and are treated accordingly:D
