The Chevin Chase Trail race today which is a Boxing Day "tradition" for many round here, now in its 30th year.
With the snow and ice on the course it made it all the more interesting, and provide some great scenery to match the cheering crowds and fancy dress costumes.
Not sure where I came or what time I did yet as E had our jointly owned stopwatch. I'm not actually at all bothered - it was just a lot of fun.
My reference to "greatness" in the title was that local lad and triathlon god Alastair Brownlee turned up to win the race. It feels such a privilege to be in the start line alongside him, and tramping through the deep snow in the open fields I was imagining that Alastair had possibly made the foot holes I was trying to follow.
Well done with your run yesterday. I don't know how you managed to race in those conditions, if it was anything like here in Ilkley, it was lethal off roads that had been gritted.
