6.4 km up The Hay, and back down.
After R&R’s amazing mountain marathon blog I am a bit reluctant to post this one, but can’t help being pleased with myself: I got my first trail race prize, winning my class!! π π
Sorry to use the blog to brag, but it probably won’t happen again!
Well done Anna…… π the hill looked really steep from the cake stall!! :yum: :yum:
That’s great, congratulations!
Well done Anna. :star: :star:
There are no other runners in the second picture. Is that because you’re way out in front? π
Well, I was in front of about a third of the entrants. But of course the problem is that you can see only the hordes in front and not those behind so you always feel as if you are last!!
Yay! remind us what you won…
Not sure you’ll be that impressed – no tents or anything – but I came back with lots of stuff:
race T shirt
bottle of windscreen cleaner (race sponsored by a garage!)
motor T shirt – actually it is more like a tent
motor biro
motor key ring
motor reflective band
and a big smile π
I can honestly say that I have never won a bottle of windscreen cleaner. Our most amusing prize, of course, is the bag that turns into a towel! You’ll probably remember reading about that on here somewhere! π
Well done you. Hopefully the first of many! I assume you stopped by the cake stall at the bottom afterwards?!
Sadly there was no cake stall- those usually happen only at commercial races, not club races – more’s the pity!
