1st time of doing this one, aim was to get under 2 hours on a testing hilly course.

1.75m warm up then off to the start ( plenty of our club there today as was the opening race for oor club champs)

1. 7:27 good start
2. 7:41 1st Hill
3. 7:27 Up and down and joined two club mates
4. 6:47 Guess what, down hill powered by 14 stone.
5. 7:21 On the flat and cruising nicely, wondering if I have gone off to fast.
6. 7:21 Maintaining pace, I like it
7. 7:26 Having a right ding dong with about 4-5 runner including 2 club mates.
8. 7:24 still jockeying for posistion and having a bit of a laugh..
9. 8:07 Big hill, lose alot of places and feeling it
10. 6:55 What goes up... gained all my places back with interest, feeling really good as recover down the hill.
11. 7:36 closing in on another club mate (now left the other 2) but big hill coming up.
12. 8:09 Big hill again still closing should get him at top of hill and do so.
13. 7:14 Still feeling really good and now know its down hill all the way.
14. 6:59 Big down hill WEEEEEEEEEEE I like that at the end of a race, pick up a few more places
15. 7:07 at last nearly there (39 secs for the last little bit as well)
