Ultra #10 the Downlands Challenge

Just a little 30 miler for my tenth ultra. A lovely route along the South Downs Way (15 miles out and back, as you can see from the symmetrical elevation profile):A Fetchie (and friend from primary school as it happens) is organising a race along the entire length of the SDW next year (website here) so this was a good recce to see what it'll be like.

This was the first race I've done where we got a shopping bag for finishing.It was warm but not too bad and I was pleased to get a 30 mile PB of under 5 and a half hours.
