Hill running

I finished the hill race in Howth today. It was a nice little race, 8.5km over some pretty hefty terrain. It started out with a lap around a football pitch, which I am well used to. Then it was the start of the race proper. Straight into a big hill. It was like being stuck in traffic, quite hard to get past anyone. The rest of it was pretty rolly with a long downhill section. It was really muddy all round and the runners I was using had no real grip at all. I only fell once but there were sections of gorse that you had to run through as well.


I finished in about 40 minutes and in 13th place. Not bad for my first hill run!


And here are the results
