This past Sunday was "The Beast" at Corfe Castle.Lorayne, Laura, Sachiko and I all set off together, which was a nice way to make our way to Corfe, as we chatted all the way down (and all the way back up also!) Tips, racing strategies, hydration, fuelling and all manner of subjects were discussed. Definitely the best way to get to a race!We met up with Keith in the car park, and that made the Windle Valley team.The weather was horrible -drizzle and strong wind- as I had just come back from temperatures as high as 38 degrees,but I was told it was perfect racing weather!The race itself I found surprisingly easy considering my lack of training, and Sachiko, Lorayne and I all finished within 1 minute of each other with times respectively of 1h58, 1h59 and 1h59. I was over the moon with my time, which was a 10 minutes improvement on my previous PB. Laura was 4th overall and 1st vet 35 with a time of 1h42, and Keith did 1h45.So all in all, a good day, with good company and great race results for everybody!
