Bontrager Twentyfour12
So I popped down to Newnham Park near Plymouth this weekend for the third Bontrager Twentyfour 12. I've had a good run of success with this event; 1st place 24 hour solo woman in 2006; 1st place mixed team in 2007. For 2008 I would be going solo again but only 12 hours this time. ("Only" 12 hours...)
I quite like Newnham Park and raced there for the first time last year at the NPS. I'd never been before but had heard a lot about it as the World Cups were held there in the 90's. The course was absolutely blinding and the weather was excellent. All in all it was a really good weekend and seeing as I finished racing at midnight it gave me chance to catch up with a few people over a mandatory glass of vino (or two).
My full race report is on the Races page here. (You see, I've purposefully not told you where I finished so you have to go and look!)

Yeehah! Nice one Grrrrrrl :-)
Sounds like you had a great time and a great result! I did my first solo 12hour the other week at Hit the North and really enjoyed it, think I might do a few more next year.
Nicely done!
I wanted to come down for this but couldn't face the 600 mile round trip (or the huge petrol bill!). They should move the race back up north.
1st place 2006?? Now who's the cheeky mare?
