EVENT REPORTHARDMOORS 60stronger than ever—and showing us young’unshow to do it…40 miles down, 20 to go. Time to grind it out.The body was actually feeling good, althoughsoreness was creeping into the quads. Just focus onrunning the best you can run in that moment (goodadvice from Lizzy Hawker) and manage the best youcan. I hit Scarborough (50 miles) in 8.5 hours whichwas bang on schedule. What followed is the hardestpart of the whole race—running the flat tarmac 3miles from the North Bay to the South! Torture.Note: How people get lost on this section is beyondme. If you try to cheat and run through the townthen I suppose it’s easily done. For those runnerscutting out the headland for a shortcut and arrivingat the checkpoint via the top housing estate (andnot by passing the Spa) then Shame On You! Rantover.At the checkpoint I grabbed a couple of gels, aquick swig of water and filled my bottle with Coke.Flip told me Jim was just a couple of minutes up theroad so I didn’t want to hang around.The home straight now.I was hoping to finish without needing my headtorch. Luckily the moon was full and rising justabove Filey Brigg which was a beautiful sight on aclear evening. I could see Jim Mann in the distanceabove Cayton Bay which spurred me on, but hemade good time into Filey and I wasn’t able to catchhim.Approaching the Brigg my Garmin clicked 60 milesin 10:30 minutes. Pacing had been spot on and allhad gone to plan, except I wasn’t standing at thefinish line… how odd? Knowing Jon I guessedthere’d be a few ‘bonus’ miles thrown in just forkicks. So after cursing his name, I shuffled on foranother 3 miles along Filey promenade for the finalcheckpoint before making my way up to the schoolfor a well deserved cup of tea and Mars Bar!I’m very please to have finished in 6th (I think?) injust over 11 hours. That’s nearly 2 hours quickerthan last year—albeit on a revised course.Congratulations to everyone who started the race.Doesn’t matter if you made it 10 miles, 30 or 50, thisis one tough Mutha’ which demands a lot of respect!I’m very lucky to live in the area where theHardmoors races are held. You can almost takethem for granted when you’re a local, but I have tosay a huge thank you to Jon and the whole team fororganising these events and putting so much timeand energy into them to make them so special. Nextyear I aim to run the Grandslam… watch thisspace…The Hardmoors have such a good atmosphere thateveryone is drawn back to them. Great people &great trails, that’s what <strong>Ultra</strong> Running is about!46 ULTRA TALES | JANUARY 2013Sponsored by thehttp://
