35% increase in entries for final hill race

It shows how far the winter hill league races have come that 70 entrants is slightly disappointing (compared to the two previous rounds).

But if ever there was a case of racing come rain, hail or shine this was it. The weather conditions were dreadful on Saturday and yet the field was 35% bigger than ever before on that course.

I was one of the people who raced the previous round but not this time as I was concentrating on my marathon training, I thought it was 10 or 11 years that I had previously raced but it turned out to be 12.

Here is the result of my race before last in the winter league.
