First long (or I think technically a Class A Medium) race in a while. Temperatures very high which made racing challenging. I was well prepared with lots of water and food in my backpack and started really slowly to ensure I would still be running at the end. Found it very tough and didn't move particularly fast round the course. 7 distinct named summits, with four above 600 m and the highest at 670 m. Race starts with a long tough climb up to Saddle Hill after which you stay up on the high grounds until the long descent at the end.
Camin 98th of 112 in 160% of the winning time. Not too bad given the length and conditions.
Finished with some nasty blisters resulting from the amount of up and down hill.
Dollar looks a nice place for a future visit.
