Running - Trail race (Mr Sparkle's Dark 'Un) 37:01 [5] 8.22 km (4:30 / km) +251m 3:55 / km
ahr:151 max:166 shoes: Mudclaw 275 (blk)
3rd :-)
Really mild night. Very fast downhill start, but wet rocky path made for a bit of danger. 4th from the start and into 3rd just before the end of the first. Out onto the moor, the top 2 were so far ahead I couldn't see their torches. Climb seemed ok, all runnable, and route was well signed and marshalled. Nice to be holding the map to know what was going on though! Fast along the top with the occasional knee deep step to contend with. Nice downhill finish, very runnable. Fire at the end was a nice touch.
Hung around for ages for the prize giving and came away with a fetching purple hat. There were chip butties too, which was a nice touch. Would do the race again; worth the hour drive from work. Late night though!
Celebrated with 6 crumpets and 6 different types of cheese, and some dried sausage with truffles #Waitrose.
