Running Fish medium course in terms of difficultly. a few hills, and a bit of 'in and out' of shopping centres, but that wind made it a monster, particularly on the 3rd lap.

how's it possible to have a 9 mile lap which has 7miles into the wind. would gladly have traded the sun and wind for rain and calm.

good marshalling and feeding, with plenty of encouragement. Unaffiliated 2:59:15 3:02:58 3:03:50 69.28

KinkyS That was tough!  3 laps, with the undulations of the first lap turning into the Himalayas by the third, especially at the 20-22 mile stage, where my legs forgot how to run, not helped by the headwind pushing me backwards faster than I was shuffling forwards (funnily enough, there was never a tailwind to compensate...).  Was on for sub 3:30 until the wheels fell off at 20 miles, but still well pleased with my performance in such conditions. Todmorden Harriers & AC, The Green Runners 3:01:51 3:27:50 3:33:41 62.69
