Top ten!

Top 10 (out of 90 finishers) position for the 45 mile Country to Capital race on Saturday with a time of 6:45. A cracking start to the season. I am very pleased.

I ran the race and came in with fellow Family member Drew Sheffield, each of us going through bad patches when the other was running fine. It worked very well. A 3rd guy we hooked up with en route called Stephen came in at the same time.

The official results have our timings and positions a little out. Basically Drew came first in 7th position as he did the nav for the first section having scoped the route out a few weeks back (many thanks for that - I owe you), me next in 8th and Stephen in 9th.

But anyhoo, top ten. Only my second ever top ten (Marlborough Downs 33 in 2008 being the other). Full race report describing the world of pain and psychological battle that is canal ultra running to come ... :-)
