It was the third year I’ve done this race now. I don’t think it gets any easier, though this year I spent the first 10 mile lap gossiping with my friend, Soph – very good use of the time….whilst my other friend, Clare, was busy winning it, again. Hero. Here are the finished Champions. My special fit chums.

We were very ready for some Hollyhock scrambled eggs by this point, and more tea, obvs.
