CC6 race 3, Ocknell campsite, New Forest, 24/25

We managed to field a team … just!

This fixture was pretty much the same out-and-back route as last year. A longish walk down a slippery hill to the start. Cruel, because we knew we would have to go up it in the final 500m run to the finish!

It was a relatively small field of 273 runners and the team finished in 15th position (out of 18) – so we were not last! 

Jay was first WRR home in 38th place (impressive!), Mike was 75th, Andrew S (not far behind) was 85th. I brought up the rear (150th) – but pleased I turned out. Plentiful cakes!
