Ted Baker Thurs 17th July

6th running of this race, good turn out of 18 runners on a sunny night. Usual staggered start to try to bring everyone home at the same time. Lollipop route, start & finish on the same route with a loop at the top.

Took it steady on the way out staying out of oxygen debt, one runner from our group going ahead on the run through the woods beside the stream. Started to pass runners on the pink path. Kept the effort even and pushed the pace once past the trig point until back in the woods where the slightly steeper downhill lends itself to a bit of a sprint, pop out at the side of Pappert, closing one runner down but never close enough to worry him.

Finished in 44 mins plus much the same as last year but 2 mins outside my best time.
