Greenmantle Dash 2010
Probably my strongest performance in a hill race yet, unfortunately the organiser is essentially ignoring all requests to publish the results, which is obviously frustrating.
The course was under a lot of snow, which slowed the runners down and meant a smaller than normal field of 78. I stayed near the front to the foot of the climb up Trahenna, stayed strong up the hill where overtaking was impossible in the deep snow and then tried to run back down as fast I could muster (half way down my legs decided I was going too hard). I wasn't overtaken on the way down until the run to the road where one chap came past - I caught him back up though.
I didn't manage to catch the next runner on the road and came in at about 22:10. I'm guessing the winning time was about 18ish. I wasn't far behind runners who normally kick my skinny backside like Colin (Williams) and Mike (McGovern) and I beat several people who I've never gotten close to before.
I think I finished about 15th or 16th (going by the photos).
Where are the results?
