Pinno My first race at Cloud 9. It was a good route going out to the Cloud but found the climb quite tough and in places struggled to keep up a slow jog and ended up walking a few times also the fact that someone in front of you walks I think psychologically made me walk but it was a toughie. Still not very good on the climbing sections. Good route down and then out across the fields and along a lot of trail type paths similar sort of terrain all the way dwn to the finish. The distance has been pushed to almost 9 miles now not the 8.75 stated. Worth doing and pleased with my run but the climbing section I need to work on. Penny Lane Striders 1:20:00 1:12:52 56.15
PJL My first hill race. Cracking route, and a beautiful day for it. Agree with Pinno about the distance - my Garmin made it 8.89 miles, shall we call it 8.9? ;-) Managed to overtake a few people on the uphill, then flew down the steep bit (great fun), but then suffered in the second half, the muddy fields draining all the strength out of my legs so no chance of a sprint finish. Need to do more long runs in training, but then I knew that already (this was actually the furthest I've run for nearly 3 months!). Free sports massage afterwards was nice. Unaffiliated 1:08:42 55.54
