2020: DNF at Land's End

I hit this race with the highest of hopes, but having trained a little less and become a little complacent, it was never going to live up to my expectations.

Despite moving faster, I felt worse. As I pushed on into the dark, the earlier speed came back to haunt me by upsetting my knee even earlier this year, so much so that I was struggling to move at Land's End and called it a day there.

A third DNF. You'd forgive me for not trying again. But I'm a stubborn blighter.
