emmilou Really muddy, boggy, rocky, slippy, windy and STEEP!! First uphill climb was a bugger - so glad to get to the trig point then a clearish run to checkpoint 1 which was literally a left turn - ruuning around the marshall - then into a headlong wind. Made this next section all the way to checkpoint 2 really tough going - my legs were doing there own thing which wasn't what my head wanted!! The final climb was hard going really slippy and lots of traffic but the best bit was to come! I branched off to the right away from the crowd and followed a faint trod to begin the descent from a different place. What a good move! Made up quite a few places on this bit and almost through myself down the side of a very steep hill! the run in was more like cross country many muddy fields and with already very tired legs wasn't great! My finish though - what can I say - a real crowd pleaser!! Managed to find enough in my legs for a full sprint downhill in a very muddy slippy field! Don't think my feet and legs have ever run that fast and accoring to the garmin I was 3 minute miling at this point!! THEN - the fall of the century!! Managed to do a full somersault with legs still sprinting landing then sliding stopping just short of the finish! Now if the slide had continued passed the finsh line THAT would have been impressive!! Wanted to do the run in under 2 hours so was really pleased with the 1:40 finish :-) however the conclusion from the race is my training SERIOUSLY needs to be increased - bring it on!
