3 hours, Hayfield High Peak, 09/01/2011
This bright idea was one of hobbits, she thought it would help us with training, fitness and help with navigating, so as usually I agreed, always up for a challenge! This was our first dabble at this type of event, hobbit has done several half and full blown marathons and I have done the odd couple half marathons but this upped the game as it was running up hill - my favorite... honest, hobbit will vouch for me too! Anyway we rocked up and we weren't too sure of the drill, but we soon got familiar with what was required, we re registered, got handed with a dibber (a swanky scanning device) and we were off, 2 little hobbits on a mission to collect as many points as we could within the 3hrs... it felt like a scene out of cannon ball run but obviously without the cars... everyone in their running tights were off, and in totally different directions. Well I am pleased to say hobbit and I did a cracking good job considering it was our first!... bonus, we didn't loose points nor came last - so winners all round in my books! Well done hobbit, 10/10 for effort.... bring on the next...this time we are having a full blown bad boy mountain marathon, non of this mini malarky business for us :-)
