On Sunday I entered the first Knill - Nash dash, which was an 8 mile cross country run organised by the local running group - The Presteigne Pacers.

Despite the wet weather, which meant my road-running-shoes slid everywhere, I had a great time, and managed to come 24th (I think) out of 42 with a time of 1 hour 11mins 18s. My legs ache, and my body is generally sore nearly 24 hours afterwards - presumably because I normally run on the flat - or near flat - and the start and end sections of this race were both relatively hilly,

Seeing as how the route went through my families farm, and where I used to work (Nash) I couldn't really not enter (or so I thought :-) ).

Anyway, I had a great time, and it was well organised - and at 10 quid, good value for money.
