In short: Overall a good run for a challenge to the body (I'm aching like mad.) jusy don't come to get a PB. In full: You need to come to this not expecting PB as narrow track does mean you will get stuck beind people. The surface is uneven and slippy and bridge and lock sections make for hard going the further you get on. The final climb to the finish just about finished me off. Water stops with plastic cups of water made drinking without stopping impossible (for me anyway), at least one bottle stop would have helped. Some stops not well enough manned to hand drinks out which meant snatching trying to snatch from the table whilst going.
Overall a good run for a challenge to the body (I'm aching like mad.) jusy don't come to get a PB. Would I do it again? Maybe but perhaps when it goes in the opposite direction. Date of review: November 14, 2011
