Who's out for this on Sat? Great little short race.
"You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back"
Short?? Maybe by strict criteria but its a tough as many mediums!
Little??? Remember that word when you face up 'the wall' on Cribyn. And again when your heels finally burst into flames on the long ridge down from Pen Y Fan!!!
I'm lovin' it and hope to be there.

Under the old (proper) criteria, where race lengths were categorised according to record times, it would have been a medium; a short had to have a record under 40 mins and this one is 52.59
Can't get there this time but it sounds like a crackin race - must get there next year!
Whoops, should of said...calling all hardened fell runners. :-)
Its 5 mile so a short in my eyes. Ok yes the climbing makes it a tough old race but even i scraped around it when i was weighing in at non fellracing friendly 14 stone a few years back (Bloody killed me mind) and look forward to the quad burning climb up to cribyn again.
Try, letting go of the brakes...never suffered with heel burn.

Then you ain't lived! Only happens with brakes fully off😃
No you won't....you'll be waaaaay ahead of me!!

erm, an 'orrible, tattered, sweat stained, stretched and moth eaten yellow number with an inverted V black band. Also worn by the probable winner, a certain P Ryder.
