This was the first trail run race for the year. Went with my cousin in law - Phil. Mum, dad and cousin were waiting for us in the car/cafe whilst we two crazy people ran in the rain.
Throughout the whole run, it was bucketing rain. Can't believe the race was actually still on. Despite the rain, it felt really good at the start. Was going at a rather good pace. Running under the rain somehow felt rejuvenating. Wasn't tired. The course was was rather technical but not too technical. At some point, we had to jump over waterfalls, and ran through puddles that were up to knee height. Good fun!!
Towards the end, when I started to fatigue, I sprained my ankle 3 times. It was pretty bad and that was what slowed me down. Keen to do this again in 2014 to get a better time. Need to get this ankle sorted out!!
Time taken to complete: 1:58:42
You can check out the waterfall we had to cross in this video (it's the waterfall featured at 0:41s):
