19 Trotters finished the infamous Dalwood 3 Hills, it promised mud, river crosses, hills and a great time to be had by all and they delivered on their promise on this multi- terrain run in the beautiful countryside around Dalwood. Risks included steep down hill stoney tracks, it was a roll your sleeves up race. The Trotters did well with Chloe 1st in 1:29.34, Liz 1:33.48 2nd and Tracy 1:36.20 taking the top 3 womens' places. What a fantastic result. Chloe powered by High5 gels.
Ewan was first male over the line in 15th place closely followed by Roger and Steve. Great running everyone in the Trotters vest today on a tough local trail race. Perfect training for next months Feigham Fury, 10m trail hilly Championship race.
Liz was pleased with the 2nd place result today - "I found it a challenge and whilst I quite like off road this was challenging! Very muddy very steep - legs dead by mile 7 but I shuffled on and was delighted to get to the finish line in one piece".
Laura Holland said "Came 1st in my age category (F35) and was the 20th female, my time was 1.54.50. Such enjoyable run with such a mixture of terrain. At the back of the pack Sam and Sarah reported having had a great time wading through the mud and streams, "the marshals and local supporters were very friendly, cheering us on even though they had been standing in cold for some time, a special mention to the marshal at the top of the last and highest hill taking photos in the freezing wind! we were a lot muddier at the end". Many thanks Sam for the report, and other contributors.
