Race one of the three race series is an 'undulating' 10k race from Port Erin across to St Marys, along the coast and back again. With a late afternoon start time to allow athletes to arrive from the mainland.
Weather was very windy (gale force) all day with crossings from Liverpool cancelled and the crossings from Heysham full of vomiting athletes !
Hailstones and snow marked the start of the race, they had even had to take the start/finish gantry down as it was being blown away. I finished slightly quicker than last year (40:19) and felt comfortable running at that pace. Stockport Harriers colleagues Paul and Michela Stepto had good races and Amber although disappointed with her time finished first U17.
This left me in 11th veteran position after the first event.
