It's been a few years since I did this event but I do remember having a particularly bad run in 2003, just after undergoing a series of cardiology tests having feinted during a training run. I must have had some underlying fitness because I was three minutes slower this time! To be fair, the course has been changed since then to include a more interesting and perhaps slightly longer finish and this is where Luke finally pressed home his advantage, storming away in the last half mile. I had beaten him to the trig point and off the rough descent after that but he came through on the second long climb. I recovered enough to close the gap on the second descent but had nothing left to finish. Never mind. The natural order is restored!
