I ran this route last weekend and did it in just over an hour and a half. Now if I avoid the stops to take in the view and diddle with the map I should be able to do it in under an hour and a half.
I feel a little tired from my heroics yesterday, but I am still certain I can get round. The weather is beautiful. Unfortunately this has helped some of the stinging nettles to get out of control.
There is a field on this route where there are some cows (and a bull) Being a 'burb dweller, I'm always a bit nervous. However in the previous field I see the cows. I head down the little path at the end of the field. I hear what sound like a mountain bike creeping up on me. When I turn round there are 6 or 7 cows closely following me. I think they must be following me to another field or to be milked. I'm out of there sharpish.
I have to stop and take a photo. I think I'll still make it round in time.
Apart from the nettles and tired legs, it is a pleasant outing. I don't run as fast as last week but it's still good. The views over Westerham are stunning as always.
Soon I am on the final run in with 5 minutes to go. this is the easy bit down the road. I see lots of cyclists and I think, cheats on their bikes. I cross the finish line with 3 minutes to spare.
