Belatedly, thanks to all those involved in running the show at this year's race, especially the marshalls up on the peaks -- I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Knowing I wouldn't be terribly competitive, I did another self-indulgent video of the whole experience, similar to the one I did of my solo BGR. (Taking selfies while running through some checkpoints causing some hilarity and consternation, not least by Billy Bland himself afterwards -- a privelege to meet him.) But anyway, if anyone wants to see what running Borrowdale is like -- here it is:

(Edit: I should explain I'm more of a flat road-racer from East Anglia, so fell running is a holiday novelty for me -- involving training on multi-storey car park stairs, etc. At home, I'm racing full on. Here, I knew already from last year that I'd be way back from anyone who knew what they were about, hence I didn't mind mucking about taking some video clips to remember in my dotage.)

A thoroughly enjoyable day in that Borrowdale. One of my favourite places and races. A joy to be a part of it. How Ricky ran that fast is beyond me!

How Ricky ran that fast is beyond me!

Billy Bland's record is one minute per mile faster, Simon Booth has run just as fast as Billy and several other runners nearly as fast.

Unbelievable!
