Time/Position: 18.57 (2nd from 84)
Runcorn doesn't sound the most attractive location, but actually this is a really nice course, and seemed the most likely local (ish) option this morning after much snow and ice. Last night saw one of the most memorable ever Collie Classic runs, up Famau in stunning conditions of deep snow as the sun set. It was a bit tiring wading through the snow, but felt truly Nordic at times with branches weighed down by the volume of snow and the eastern sky purple. Today was a sharp contrast, mild and sunny in Phoenix park - the course involves two and a half laps with three climbs, almost all tarmac, and a nice lakeside/canal blast. The young lad up front was literally a kilometre (3 minutes) ahead of me in 2nd place, as he beat the course record.
