Enjoyed the race yesterday. Thanks to Bill and all the volunteers for putting it on. Very enjoyable route with a nice mix of runnable and more challenging underfoot conditions. Nav would have been very challenging for me, having not recced and not being local local, but thankfully I had two lovely CVFR ladies to follow for a good while and then the good company of one other runner to the finish. [It took me 20 or 30 mins longer than i had estimated but i notice the winning time was also 20-25 minutes slower than last year.] EDIT: winning time was in fact similar to last year at 2:23. I had somehow thought Jack Wood did it in 2 hours in 2022. So my expectations of a 2:30 finish were massively optimistic on that basis!
