The Hills Keeper

04 August, 2024 - Eoin Phelan

Great race. The first 12K was mostly runnable uphill fireroad. Everything was going well for me until i reached the start of the ascent of Keeper hill. This was about 1Km of a very steep grassy bank. i struggled badly here and 8 people passed me. amazing scenery at the top as you looked down through the cloud at the small figures climbing the hill. it was all downhill from here. with 5K left it was fast and furious. I pushed really hard here and passed 12 people on the descent to the finish line. the course was well marked, great views and we all got a cool Buff for finishing. well organised.
