Thanks to Sue Davis from South Cheshire Harriers and her satnav I actually made it to the race this year. As you all know last year I got lost and ended up just going home.
It was a very windy night and there was a chill in the air
but several people had said “ you’ll like this race Liz” others say no you
won’t is horrible. With these words ringing in my ears I decided not to listen
and just go and do the run and judge for myself.
It was a three lap course all off road but there were a few
paths. My plan was to try and beat as
many “W” runners as possible. About 3
miles into the race my friend “G” Man was in front, so I asked him his name. He
said “Graham and we have got to stop meeting like this”. For the next 3 miles
we played cat and mouse but alas he beat me this time, yip Graham was much
stronger on the hills than me.
The course is undulating and there is a drag of an off road hill which you have to do three times. Although my time was slow for a 10K (it was hilly) and an improvement on my last race so all in all I was pleased with it.
The cost of the race is low so there was no medal when you crossed the finishing line, only a bottle of water at the end but I would recommend it to those of you who love hills.
