This event is the anniversary of the start my running career – my duathlon partner Steve Patterson and I first competed in it in 2013 as our inaugural event. We missed the start on that day but we  managed to get there in time this year!

I was pleased to finish first in a time of 31m 59s on a difficult and undulating course (with a minor detour when I took the lead runners the wrong way). Steve ran well to finish 13th in 38m 23s. A good day out.
