400 started, so crowded it was reminiscent of a Trunce! I reached the summit in lh25m (same as last year) and it was distinctly chilly up there. I allowed myself a few seconds sightseeing before plunging down for the real hard work of the race. This is the bit where you take your brain out and by the time I reached the bottom I tottered about on the road trying to find my feet before running the last mile. 15 minutes off last year's time, a pb at last.

Yet again there was an anticlimax of dithering about for 10 minutes while we were checked by the marshals - no sense of occasion.After last year's debacle, full body cover was to be carried. It was the sublime to the ridiculous as we were in the middle of a heatwave.400 started, so crowded it was reminiscent of a Trunce!
