I could keep up with her lol.
A great day .
Sorry to disappoint you, no it wasn't. Although you may be forgiven for thinking so when you read some of the comments about LDWA events these days.

The Rombalds Stride is an LDWA Challenge Event in which walkers and runners are invited to complete a 23 mile route in anything up to 10 hours. It's not a race. If you complete in under 3 hours, you complete the challenge, if you complete in 9hrs 59mins, you complete the challenge (and, in fact, some would say you deserve far more respect for having been out that long).

Good luck with your first race when you go to one though, glad you enjoyed yourself at Rombalds.
