PHEW!!! I'm glad that race is over my body is still feeling it after 5 days.
The course was at Box Hill,Dorking,Surrey, 8 mile laps, we had to run one loop then cycle (road bike) 3 loops
and then if you had anything left in yur tank run 1 loop.
The first 6 miles wasn't to bad a few hills and some steep descents but the last couple of miles went up a pretty steep climb (650m above sea level). managed to run the first lap in a comfortable 51:24 not quite sure what position i came in but was about 6 mins off leader.
Jumped on bike to do 3 laps (oh dear) i fink this is my weakest event a lot of bikes came by me,managed to get around in 1:22:16.
Off the bike now,'ouch' me feet av gone numb and me leg muscles are screaming!! (only 8 miles to go) it felt like i was walking around the course, it felt good overtaking most of those roadies must av reeled in about 50 of um.!
Weather conditions were good to us that day,managed to complete Ballbuster in 3:07:28 (damn lost a fiver was trying to beat 3:02 ) !! 36th place..... Not sure if i'll do this one again,unless one of you guys fancies ago..!!
(Steve sent me this rather than put it on his own site, think he's still a bit confused)
