My first BOFRA race of the season was the fourth in this year’s championship with the top two V60 places being monopolised by the same two runners in the previous events. I got no change out of either of them slogging up the Hoad and Pat and I were left to fight it out for third place. Never more than a few seconds apart for the whole two miles, I managed to hold out on the descent, after being well beaten by Pat at Pen-y-Ghent last week. That was intense.
There was a great turnout from BCR and in the prizes were Lizzie, Harry, Josh and Simon R. Meanwhile more than one veteran BCR runner managed to take a wrong turn, even on home ground. Amazing what you can miss when you have your race head on.
