North Stands race from Tim's house. A salutary lesson in the benefit of good preparation, in that I did none and paid the price. Went for the same order I did when I ran this race last time, many many years ago with Middle: FC, Blades, Owls. Ran mostly with Rob and we took a few dodgy lines, especially around Eccy road and along Langsett Road. Miles down on Nails who nailed it. The weather could not have been grimmer with compacted ice on the pavements and freezing rain. Sort of fun, sort of not, but the chips and bitter shandy made up for it.
