Tinto Hill Race
It has been an exceedingly unhealthy week. Glad to be able to run up most of the Tinto Hill Race. John Tullie got me just before the top. I thought I’d try to stick with him for the descent. He was running quite a good pace for me, until her ruined it be wiping out after catching his foot. It was a steep and rocky bit, and I got a full view of him doing a bouncing scud over lots of nastiness. OUCH! He’s such a tough mountain goat that by the time I got to him her was already getting to his feet saying he was ok. I thought I’d better not pace myself off him anymore and try to push on as he must have been less inclined to throw himself down after that. Little did I know that he revived - and had pulled past me by the end, scooping first vet 60. Legend! I got past at the end by woman so ended up 4th woman.
