Hot day, wind against on outward run, so easier on return. The out and back course starts at the Strathmore Arms, Holwick, crossing Cronkey Fell before dropping down to the Tees, where the checkpoint is thoughtfully placed in the knee deep, slippy rocks river. The uphill start sorted me out and that’s where I stayed, near the back. Rewards were jelly babies at the Tees turnaround and knowing Nina had caught the leading lady. She was 30 metres adrift at 6 miles, but 3.5 minutes up at the finish. After tackling bogs, stream crossings and testing climbs, we exchanged race numbers for chip butties; beats t shirts! Paul E. placed 4th, just missed out on a prize; Gibbo and Phil O enjoyed the post race wash in the stream.
