A fell race. In Surrey!

11M incl 7.5M Box Hill Fell race (in 55min34s; 15th position)

A tough Saturday after a pretty hard week's running! Seven and a half miles of pain in about 55 minutes(!) with 1700ft of ascent (and descent). No spikes were allowed, and I don't own any good gripy fell-type shoes. Add to that my ungainliness down hill and you get a strange race where I gained places on every up and flat and gave a good number of them back on the downs.

But it was a good tempo workout. And I survived with only minor scrapes. We came 2nd in the team competition.
