Clive S reports.....
After a year of not a lot of racing, my new year's resolution to race a bit more got off to a good start at this well organised and enjoyable event. The rain held off as we headed out of Hereford rowing club and up an incline to the 1K mark. Then it was down hill to the 2K marker, a few undulations to 3K, then a loop round some quiet lanes, before rejoining the outbound course at around 7K. At halfway I was back on for my target time of 39 mins, going through 5K in exactly 19:30. The knowledge that there would be a fast downhill final kilometre kept me going as I managed to pull away from a group of 5 runners, before going through 9k in 35:15 and 10K in 38:46.
This is the first time I've done this race - I can recommend it as a most pleasant way to burn off the excesses of the season!
