Back at the Appin Show, dry on the day but a wet week meant a muddy course. About 18 of us set off from the middle of the show field, started near the back, passed a couple as we started to climb through fields at the bottom of the hill, onto the open hillside a muddy rutted track winds up the hill onto the ridge, leave the track through tussocks for a short steep climb to the flagged turning point. Picked up a bit of pace on the way down, a bit wary of the ruts and holes, managed to catch a couple of other runners on the way back with a face plant between overtakes, thankfully soft mud and no rocks. Finished in about 11th or 12th place about 30 seconds slower than last year, short sharp race, good fun.
