Edward, Hazel, Dave(new be) and I ran the Mean wood Valley trail race.
Although, I have done this lots of times, however, I never find it easy.
I forgot how many hills there are (especially the rock climb at the end, just before coming into the field).
As a fast start, Edward and Karl got off pulling away from me.
But trying my best, I passed quite a few runners. I eventually caught up with Karl between the 4-5 mile mark. At this point I was feeling strong, I encouraged him to stay with me. We worked together for a couple of miles, but unfortunately I went over on my ankle.
Subsequently, he started to pull away from me.
Overall, it was a disappointing time for me. generally times were down by around 3Min's due to the heavy conditions , not 6Min's like me so its time to pull my finger out i think.

Whatever happened to good old chivalry? You caught Karl up, encouraged him along for a couple of miles, twisted your ankle and he leaves you?
yes nice one karl i'm sure if the same thing happened between tony and me he would'nt slow down and wait for me.
You're dead right Kevin, you are a "race machine" I need all the advantages I can get.
Pleased to see you have set up your own blog.
