_andy A very grey race.  Spent a lot of time completely on my own, since visibilty was maybe 30 or 40 feet for most of the race.  Not too cold, but windy, which slowed things down (but not gales like last year) and a bit of drizzle.  Very wet underfoot.
Race was ok, the uphills were steep and grey, the downhills were grey and fast and there weren't really any flat bits to be honest, although they would have been grey too.
Cramp threatened towards the end - probably helped by that steep gully up Harbour Hill (hill 11 of 16) and I was tiring over the last four summits which I ran almost entirely without seeing ayone else.  Was caught on the final climb of Caerketton but this pushed me into a fast sprint finish to keep my place.  No idea of the time when I'd finsihed since I ran with no watch/Garmin/etc. - it turned out to be almost a couple of minutes slower than last year, but the effect of the mist more than allows for that.  37th/167.
