After the flagstones I went right and cut to the Cross before running on the good runnable trail to the Rocks. This is the way I was lead in 2012 the first year I did it. But, it seemed like I was 1-2 mins! behind the runners I had been with at the CP so its Definitely not a faster option. Hey ho!

Great day for it tho (y) provided in your shoe choice you'd accounted for that predictable mud with the overnight rain.
When are the results usually out?
