The Pathfinder marathon in Cambridgeshire was a lot flatter than Dorset last weekend but required a lot more navigation. Unlike some LDWA instructions, these lacked distances so when we were told to "turn right and after the pumping station and stream, turn right through the gap in the hedge to follow the edge of the field with the hedge on your left", we went sailing up the grassy rutted track for, ooh, more than half a mile rather than about 50 yards. Doh. So this turned into a 28 mile event, at least it was a nice day.
It wasn't the most attractive marathon, lots and lots of flat fields are never going to be very exciting, and the Dorset coastline spoiled me a bit last week with its soaring views, but it was a grand day out with some of my marathon running buddies. And the road season starts on Sunday with the Kent Coastal.
