Y O Y did I ever run at Urambi Hills? I have only ever run that race once before, but it was on the old course, and even though I swore I was never going to run it again, I changed my mind because the course had been made "easier".
Ha. Ha. Ha.
Some of the kms I "ran" in over 6 minutes. The uphills are too steep. The downhills are too steep. There is no flat.
What didn't help was having a rotten sore throat, but still, that doesn't explain everything. And the trouble with handicaps, or any seeded run for that matter, is you just cannot decide to "jog along" with your mates once you have started.
HOWEVER others in Team Moore did well - Col Farlow got a rare backmarker's medal in the long course, and Gary "Griffin" Bowen got a medal in the short course, AGAIN, with Katie getting fourth place for the third time. (One to go, Kt?).
