Now that was a fast course and very enjoyable! Myself and my friend blew away our PB's. A few of us with Garmins recorded the course as 50m long but prob due to not been able to take racing line the whole way around. Hope this race comes an annual one or course even used for a BHAA one.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff Togher AC
If your Garmin measures a small bit too long then that's a good sign that the course has been measured properly.
ReplyDeleteIf a course measures the exact distance on a Garmin then it can be a bad sign.
Any contact number to collect a prize?
