Great photo's and thanks for the speedy results.

Nice day for it, even if it was a bit cold waiting for the start. Conditions underfoot alternated between ice rink and slough. One second you would be running along on solid frozen mud, next second up to your knees in bog. I went down twice, the second time when a K&C frequenter of these fora went face first into the bog in front of me in a spectacular belly flop.

er if you were not so close that i wondered about your sexuality you would have been ok, i would say kiss my arse but i think thats what you were trying to do.

I mean my first race since august due to a re-occurence of my chronic fatiguey thing and some twat trys to mate with me. And you have to comment about the weight i have put on.

Glad you enjoyed the experience. The earth certainly moved for me

great pictures and a really enjoyable race. I thought it was even more hairy than last year, at least last year you knew the ground was going to be hard!

does anyone have the actual distance of the race? I know it says 5 miles but I completed in 40:40 and it really didn't feel like 8 minute miles! maybe i'm better than I thought - I doubt it!

thanks to Dave & the Woodentops.

I think it's just over four miles, something like 4.2. - just tried one of the online mapping tools which gave around 2 miles one way.

Distance was 4.32m with 693' of ascent.
About 9.25 min/mile Superfly.

Would love to be up there... but.... it's the 2nd round of the 'PECO XC' series, & I ought to be running that; being (apparantly) a points scorer for the Club


However, I've got an 'Auld Lang Syne' entry, so see you all up there on the 31st
