I think my mate who came 2nd lady might need testing - she improved on her time last year by more than half an hour ... Blinding run, that.
I ran with her for a while and she eventually dropped me on the approach to Grindslow Knoll. She had an absolutely brilliant run. And she even had the class to offer me some of her drink as we ran! Was pleased she got a top three finish it was well deserved.
