Rother Valley 6 Mile Trail Race

I had a good run yesterday in the Rother Valley trail race. I missed the start by up to a minute, so spent all the race passing people. This was a hard way to run the event given that it wasn't an easy race to start with. There were a few hills, and steep descents, a bit of mud, and the finishing straight was on the edge of the lake which meant it was a little boggy.

But lots of fun. The only drawback was that you had to pay to park (£2.50), which was on top of the entry fee for the race itself. Never mind, at least the money should go to the upkeep of Rother Valley Country Park.

I finished 23rd out of 114 runners.
