Well, I completed my first "race" in two years...10 miles carrying 35Ib. Was quite pleased with my 2 hours 15 minutes. This was later than the target 1 hour 50, but for some unknown reason my shins cramped up in the first mile, and it took a couple of miles to get going again. Excellent event, well organised by the Paras. Good friendly atmosphere, challenging course, with some very steep hills. It can be run as a cross county sans bergan, but I think thats kind of missing the point.
I did think it was awfully decent of the Paras to drag the dead sheep out of the water hazard before the event!
Definitely on the calendar for next year.
Congratulations! Quite the accomplishment. Gives me something to strive for. Glad to read your post again.
