on a wet but humid night I managed to knock nearly 1:08 off my 10k track PB to finish 20th in a time of 48:41.81...most pleased to hold off Richard H as he was on my tail most of the run, even passing me three times in the last 10 laps or so...
I'm pretty sure I would have had a much faster time if I wasn't hampered by a stitch from ~5.2k through to ~9k...I don't think it ever really subsided, I just got better at ignoring it...first time that's happened to me in a race so I'll have to have a look at my preparation...due to the humid and wet conditions I even had to ditch my glasses as they kept fogging up!!

everyone finished under the hour, I think there were 30 finishers of 31 starters - Anne Y set a new record for the W70 with 58:53ish...

Congratulations! Good to see they had the 1/100ths working, although I confidently predict you'll break that PB by more than 0.81 next time.
Looks like a good day for the adventure race.
