Meldon Hill Race, Long, on Dartmoor
Wowzer. Amazing weather, again! Made it so easy to navigate, didn't miss the thumb compass much at all.
My legs felt a bit better than they started out yesterday, but were definitely tired. Felt pretty good through number 4, then just couldn't quite keep up with this guy on the down hill. Was lots of fun, and only mildly twisted my ankle twice- very happy didn't go over badly on it considering yesterday, and not having any tape!
Carried my inov8 pack, with SGB's platypus, a waterproof, a Mars bar and a goo. Ate the goo after 1 hour, and kept sipping on the water, which was fantastic. Need to get a platypus, really perfect for this sort of thing! Didn't eat the Mars bar or use the waterproof- was actually boardering on too hot!
Finished first, and perhaps only woman on the long course (results aren't up), earing my bottle of wine as a trophy. More impressively, SGB won the race altogether.
