Well, I managed to make the event…just. Unfortunately Christmas over-ran by about 5 minutes this year. This resulted in me arriving to see Graham, Jim, Rob and many more completing the first lap.
So having driven like fury to get there, I went to the start line and ran the course, over taking several of the slower runners on the way.
The finish marshalls however were very confused when I ignored them twice so that I could complete the distance. I eventually finished in 130th place…(not last I hope or it will be a first!)
