This month for the umpteenth time I found myself on the North Down Way, in Guildford to be precise, "the thinking man's Woking" for Ultra Challenges North Down Challenge, a race that was supposed to have rain at 5pm, then 3pm, and eventually had rain about an hour after the start.Part of a hikey joggy end to the year with SVP50, Thames Path Challenge, Swindon 50K and NYC Marathon to go I needed this one, after two DNFs in recent races with my broken brother. I was 3-10 going into this so needed to pick up the pace and get it done.So, naturally, that is exactly what I did, despite the weather, and the wrong shoes.
