Fourteen Sphinx AC runners battled heat, headwinds and hills in this tough all-dayer.
The 100-mile course comprised of ten 10-mile legs, some of which were subsequently divided into two halves.

- Pete was doomed by level crossings, cows crossing, and crossed wires (whe navigating to the hand-over venue). You could easily knock 20 minutes off his total elapsed time to give his actual running time.
