Farm Ultra

The idea is to run as many times round a 4.19mile loop, starting each loop on the hour, as you can. Last year I did 4 and Mr Rat 7 but we were each one short this, (though I did add a little extra to get over the half marathon distance). We ran out to the wood in the distance around various fields and it was very hard work as most was on recently cut field edges (not allowed to cut before July 15th) and so it was very rough with loose dry grass and lots of tussocks - at least they were no wasps like last year.
The weather started out with sunny intervals but clouded over, with some rain before we left (people were still out running their 8th lap) and an hour or so of rain once we got home.
Fish supper was much appreciated and while Mr Rat was getting it I started some breadmaking, must go and check on it.
