Back for this short hill race for the first time since 2003. Hot and sunny and probably shouldn't have run due to rotten cold all week but it's only a short race. Probably about 8 runners and 20 or 30 others with an extra half lap of the games field to start.
Tough little climb once out the games field through cow fields and onto a forrest road for a runnable steady climb to the top of the hill then a fun tussock filled ditch where every time you try to find a firm piece of ground to run on away from the dry stane dyke you fall flat on your face, so you run with your feet as close to the dyke as possible and lean away, oh and the odd tree stump to jump as well.
Out of tussock ditch to rejoin the forrest track then back into muck n stuff through the fields. Back in the games field its half a lap to the finish. Lucky its a short race. Finished 5th or 6th about 30 secs faster than 03.
