55 miles and 10 hrs as I started to need to walk the running bits.
That's pretty rapid though, suggests flatter EfM could be big distance covered.
I'm ok with that though, as it meant I got a few pints in Marsden
Riverhead Brewery Tap? Hope so, it's lovely.
Tough Course
It looked tough on map, i liked the little detour by Marsden to take you up a steep hill!
rhb-
Not sure if I could have done better on a flatter EfM as I walked the hills, plus I had benefit of descents.
Yes! It was the Riverhead Brewery, couldn't have found a better place for recovery beers - they called time early though.
Any course in the North is tough for a Southerner like myself - on the drive in to event HQ I hesitated in even driving up some of those hills.
Spares
Thanks @rhb yes it was the 100 - I binned it off after 55 miles and 10 hrs as I started to need to walk the running bits.
I'm ok with that though, as it meant I got a few pints in Marsden then some zzz's in the car, and the whole of Sunday eating out the fridge back home.
Its a great event, tough course with circa 60% off road.
It has highlighted that I need to get more miles under my belt though!
