Good turn out, 23 including Buffy, for his years race in memory of Ted the Italian Spinoni. A warm night, no midges but plenty of flies to suck in as you went up the hill towards the Pappert Well. Staggered start in 3 groups so went off steady in group 2 with recent and forthcoming races in mind.
Ran in road shoes to encourage an easy pace and started up the hill with breath to spare, kept this pace going letting a few from grp 2 go ahead, even so caught a few of group 1 on the way up.
Just about managed to keep the pace steady until the leaders from group 3 came up behind near the top. Picked up the pace on the way down and when the leaders passed tucked in behind them until we reached the woods. Eased back here over the roots and ditches but kept it steady to try and catch some of the others, picked off another 3 and Buffy to be clanged in by Mrs B with the bell in just over 44 mins, 7th o/all, 2nd Millie.
