Super day for it with the Sun shining even if a bit cold and very windy, how I loved that headwind over the last mile, just what I needed after that long climb.  Being rememberance sunday prior to the start there was a reading and 2 minutes silence before the stampede down the hill.  Thanks to Lewes for hosting this event.  Another record breaking attendance with 226 finishers in the senior race.
