143 Finished


This race was off road (mix of stony tracks and grass, extremely hilly, (nearly vertical or even mountainous in places!!), conditions were perfect, warm with light
cool breeze. Stuart and Cathy Dudfield, who took part last year, were certainly faster than last time. Phillip was going carefully prior to the Comrades 'marathon' on 16 June.

Steve Wiggall's personal feelings: "I was intending to treat it like a training run after a hard 4m yesterday. Set off steady then started to pick it up after 2. Hill
at 3 was tough going but then once over that and onto the common I really picked it up and felt good gradually reeling people in. Forgot about the last hill at about 5 and then powered into the finish and really enjoyed it"
