Got to put a little hill in there somewhere for you! The now defunct Headington 5 used to have an underpass. I never used to bother with slowing for it and just bounced off the corners. Great fun!

I ran 13.17 so distance pretty accurate as I was dodging people in the wrong time pens for 2 miles. not that I give a sh*t - I was way under 1:28
