07\10\17 - Leo 30 E2/30

26 Oct 17

I'm not sure why I entered this.  Thirty miles of racing in October shouldn't have appealed to me.  But some inner demon persuaded me to give it a go.  A forecasted very windy day did nothing to convince me that I'd made the right choice, but the A11\A14\A11 can be a weird course, and it turned out to be a bit of a flyer.
Didn't go exceptionally fast outward-bound and was expecting to suffer on the return, but somehow I maintained my speed throughout.  At about twenty miles I met the promised rain but kept on going to take over two minutes off my PB with a time of 1:14:36.  Still only managed 82nd place out of 90 starters but was pleased with myself for trying.  PW.
