Fairlands Valley Challenge – Sunday 15th, Stevenage

Terry Alabaster has been continuing his off road adventures. This self navigated event near Stevenage gave you the choice of half marathon, 18 miles, full marathon or 50k ultra distance to choose from, of which Terry chose the half.

Hoping to get round in roughly 2 hours to 2:10 it was all going well until about half a mile from the finish, when he was stumped with which way to go. Should he risk doing a “Heydon” or sensibly wait on this occasion? He thought he chose wisely, waiting for other runners to catch him up, only for them to be stumped as well!! Anyway, long story short, that last half mile ended up taking 24 minutes coming home in 2hr 29mins!
