Foxy Davy Dec 2011 6:46pm, 3 Dec 2011 24,926 posts	Quote Pin Foxy Davy One of my top 10 times but not as quick as the Cornish for me even though it's an easier course - not a PB course & can be brutally windy ! But it's road & not many options in the first 3 months of the year. Chris - dont have that kind of speed in me these days - looking for sub 3.45 (chasing 50 of those). Paul - what's planned the day before ?

pikeman Dec 2011 8:18pm, 3 Dec 2011 247 posts	Quote Pin pikeman I liked this one, found the last 5miles hard going and the finish is uphill to the hotel, but yes great views of St Ives and I think even I managed a sub 3:45. Clashes with the Stinger next year though, which I'd already entered, and for some reason the Duchy is a week or 2 earlier in 2012!!

Chrisull Dec 2011 8:59pm, 3 Dec 2011 4,187 posts	Quote Pin Chrisull Easy pb course, broke my London time by 6 minutes here, and could walk afterwards (something I couldn't do after London), despite less training miles and a disastrous build up involving health issues. But yes the weather can decide how quick it is, a coastal wind could destroy any chance of a pb.
