A new race on the calendar and a biggish turnout of around 250 runners. Weather was cool and a little cloudy but fairly good racing conditions although it turned out to be very cold on the tops requiring gloves, hat and coat to stay way. Legs not great so it was slow progress on the way up with generally the steeper bits being relatively good for me. A long run on the high terrain with a lot of bog to traverse. The descent down the gravel paths wasn't particularly nice and legs were feeling pretty crocked and not up for going too aggressively downhill. A time of 2 hrs 53 mins felt pretty good for a race of 13.2 miles and 1200 m climb.
