In short: one hell of a race, wot sadist came up with this course.
In full: I love running around Wendover woods, some great scenery, and some very tough hills. Ran up one hill I've never run up before, and one I don't want to run up again. Run, I mean crawl.

In short: A bit like the opening scenes of Saving Private Ryan but with hills
In full: First pleasure (downhill) then pain (uphill), two splendid climbs, one of which requires you to use tree roots to get to the top!!!

In short: This one certainly lived up to its reputation: steep, slick and sticky. But what a wonderful race to end the year!
