Well made it round the Bedgebury 10mile race today through gale force winds and driving rain. The mud on parts of the course were horrendous more like skating than running and the hills were killers by far the hardest race I’ve done. But having said that it was the most satisfying race I have done yet and the rain was a refreshing cooler. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world. now I’m aching but overjoyed to have completed it and faster than I expected in 1:39.38. Hastings half? bring it on 😀

Hi MutleyShuffle you did a fantastic race in the same tough conditions 🏅👍 i would definitely class that one as a cross country race the only downside was we didn’t bump into each other but hopefully see you at the Hasting half then if not before at parkrun 😀
