Greenman First time I've done this race and I wasn't prepared for the course - mostly uphill and mostly off-road, the previous night's rain making it pretty squelchy in parts. At least there were hot showers back at the leisure centre though to get cleaned up. I was hoping for close to 30 mins but it was never going to happen on this course-a 6:20 first mile after an uphill start soon put paid to that. Nevertheless it made a welcome change from the usual 1-lap dead flat 5M races that I've run in the past. Grantham Running club 29:45 30:00 32:23 67.84
rollerman Nice fun run wet and boggy. Good steady pace Long Eaton Running Club 35:56 40:47 44:10 50.91
SPKoF Multiterrain course, part road, part track, part bog.

The heavy rain the night before made this a tough course. It finishes higher than it starts and has 1 mile of sharp downhill and 4 miles of gentle up.

As close to a PW course as you can get. I'd hoped for sub 35 but it wasnt to be. Trail or fell shoes and I probably would have managed it.

These races are so much nicer than running around a road. Long Eaton Running Club 29:52 33:53 35:34 59.47
