ebox 32nd out of 68! A lot better than I expected. 

Very hot day but once you get to the top (4000' total ascent) great views and plenty of fresh air. 
Course was very well marked (taped) so never needed to get the map out.

Most of the downhill (~7 miles) was on hard track, so you'd really feel it in fell shoes. Course if you don't have off road shoes you would find the top three miles very heavy going.

I'd certainly do it again. Claremont Road Runners 1:37:58 1:37:58 2:15:01 53.05
Grey Badger Done this route a few times in training. May beat 2hrs on a good day. Got in under 2hrs so happy. Just took it steady on the way out to make sure leg was ok. Only time it twinged was on the steep downhill after Cushat Law. Ran out of steam a bit on last uphill bit in last 2 miles but finished 12th.
