Lover's Ridge. As armchair IOF event adviser, I'd seen the elite courses so decided to run W35. There's something to be said for acting my age. Cathy Hogg was delighted that she beat me, but I still got a badge for the first time in years :)
We were privileged to run on a Juffymap. I especially liked the first part with no undergrowth and a cool creek network. The second part had rocks in and lots of people milling around one particular hillside where I lost maybe up to a minute not being in the same place as the cliff I wanted. Starting to get a bit hot in the sun towards the end, but immediately after I finished it saw fit to rain - go figure.
I think I might by now be prepared to concede that I am actually on holidays, and that work is 3000km away.
