Baslow Boot Bash
Baslow Boot Bash, that sounds fun and I suppose it was. I was told at the start it was a long 26 miles, everyones Garmins showed over 28 miles at the end, mine 28.3. We ran along track, trail, fields, road mud and over rocks. Through rain and sun and Charlie's favorite, a field which had just had cow s**t spread over it. There was also a few hill which accounted for over 7600ft of assent and 7 checkpoints to find. It was the first time I've had to use my map reading skills which I discovered need some work on. At the start they said a sub 5 hours would get you in the top 10. Only the first 5 managed that and I came in 8th in 5:15:47. That's 3 marathons, 1 mountain race, 15 mile trail race and a 5 mile run in the last 5 weeks, Wednesday's relays should be a walk in the park!
