🥇 Race win! - Jurassic 50k

Shake out - 50k tomorrow 🤘

Afternoon Run

Steady ☀️

Hot hills & moderate

Took 2 mins 28 seconds off Paul Crease's record.

Lucky with the weather, thought I might get quite wet but nice 12 degrees and a breeze. Not perfect ground conditions, but dry enough to be very runnable throughout.

Went out hard and suffered on the climb up Beacon Hill but knew I felt bad there last time and pressed on. 2 mins up at Rough Tor, didn't take an optimum line down but kept solid pace on the back end where I lost time in January. Took the permissive path from the farm up towards Brown Willy which I think is quicker, but I did fall when it became boggy and tufty - left side of the fence is more runnable.

I pushed up the climb to Brown Willy knowing I lost time there before, then it was just a matter of keeping the legs turning on the final undulating section and gritting my teeth for the uphill finish!

Mega pleased with that result. Also would have been my grandad's birthday today, so that one was for him 🙏
