My first Hardmoors race was a great one! One I'll remember that's for sure! I can't recall why I picked December to run my first Hardmoors race... it seemed a good idea at the time. Then I started to question my life choices as temperatures dipped but as there was no rain it turned out to be the best decision ever! A magical day running on the Cleveland Way with sparking snow and frozen hair and eyelashes! Definitely an experience.
Roseberry Topping was hard... TWICE but rewarding at the top. My goal was to stay upright and get round while enjoying the day. I would definitely come back for more if these races were closer as it was an awesome day out on beautiful trails. Incredible support from what must have been VERY cold marshals!
Whatever the weather just get out there and your day might surprise you!
Happy running,
Nicola :)
