Dovedale Dash

Broke off serious training for one weekend last Sunday to take part on the 54th Dovedale Dash - 4 3/4 miles of complete madness, given it had rained hard for several hours before the start, making the course a quagmire (except for the bit through the ford across the Dove, which was just deep, wet, and cold). 1150 took part, and I came 217th, which I am pleased with. 40 minutes 12 seconds, which was also OK given that I have been training for much longer distances.
