Having done this 20 mile race before, I knew what to expect. I just hoped
that the weather forecasters would get it wrong and we would be able to see
some blue sky. Unfortunately not! We were corralled into pens on a patch
of muddy grass and then 'walked' to the start line about a quarter of a mile
away. The weather at this point was not too bad but as the race got underway
and we started ticking the miles off, we went from drizzle, to sleet and
then to big snowflakes! The temperature was not too bad though and not at
any time did I feel cold.
The route, for those that do not know, is a 2-lap course which seems to
consist of mainly hills going in the 'up' direction. I was told that we
did go downhill at some point but I can't seem to recall where! Support
from very brave on-lookers was very much appreciated and the huge number
of cheery marshals around the course was an even bigger bonus. The only
down-side to this race (and it is a small one) is that the last 200m is on
grass. Very wet, muddy, slippery grass aswell! However, the very happy
helpers at the end made up for that - along with the very good 'goody-bag'
and yet another Hoodie!
Will I do it again? More than likely. Oh, and for
those that did run....just one question....did you 'Pee in Packington?? -

Came in 44th after run 1.
A good bike put me in 21st. Swapped a couple of places on run 2 so finished
21st, but managed 2nd in 40-45 male age category.
