A tough 1400 ft of ascent lay in wait on an otherwise beautiful afternoon last Sunday. Looking up at it, it didn't look too bad, but appearances can be deceptive. Blissfully free of any watch or heart rate monitor, I trooped along at the back, as usual. I did overtake a few people this time, and managed the landmark of coming in before WG Grace and Sir Stanley Matthews.
Unfortunately, the downhill was so much fun that I raced down the slope at top speed, thereby rendering my thighs wobbly and thoroughly uncontrollable at the end of the race. I've been afflicted with acute pain ever since..still, I might be able to walk down stairs in a couple of days.
