Nudging towards Eridge

[Charliecat5]

This is a run I would recommend.

It's not a run I would seek to do again in a hurry.

Yes, it's always good to know other people are as mad as ourselves. More seriously, though, some races are just good to do once so you can add them to your body of experience.

Strangely, however, these mongrel, brutish races do seem to lure you back just as soon as the bad memories have faded a little. You know how it goes: one night in the pub, someone like CC5 will get thoroughly muntered and suggest doing "that" race again; and flush with the enthusiasm that comes positively reinforced by the good memories (the bad ones being pissed and laying comatose somewhere in the background), you agree, and next thing you know, you're committed.

I use the word advisedly.

That aside, a great effort, and thanks for the quick write-up.

Hey, I cannot be blamed for this particular run.  The blame falls firmly at the feet of Mr Roper.  

I like the way that Rob ran the first part of the race at a steady pace.  I kept up with him for the first mile, I can't pretend it was a steady pace in my dark little world.   The man is running particularly well at the moment.   I'm not.
