What a race! Weather looked like it might spoil things on our drive to the start but it cleared up just in time. Views were superb all day.
To be honest found it quite hard. Somehow forgot that from Dalehead Tarn to Catbells is not exactly flat and didn't really keep enough in reserve. Definitely need some more training before attempting TWA!
Was my first AW race but won't be my last. Great atmosphere and a great race.
great race managed to drag myself round in approx 2hrs cold felt a little better today prob suffer for it in the week!
thanks to all that help make this happen.
nearly missed start gassing at the back of the pack looked round and everyones off and running up the field ha ha..
nice to see mr naylor out watching.
p.s thanks for the report and video.
I was happy enough with my run today, a big blister slowed me down on the final couple of miles and spoilt the final descent. My overall time of 1:59:14 (31st) was bang on my target (sub 2) so I'm not complaining at all. It's a great race and a great atmosphere, I'll definitely be back.

My 3rd AW and my slowest, but PPP next week so not killing myself today. Great race as always. The weather smiled on us and well done to all involved.Thanks to all the marshalls on the summits as well and all the other volunteers.
Have to say big up to WPette (Beckie) for taking the Senior race at only 18. I thought it would be interesting to see how she would go and having set off to have "a training run" she got a little competitive when told she was in the group of leading ladies.
She paced herself fantastically well and ran with full kit for the first time and has never raced over 70 mins before. Proud as punch for her to win such a Lakeland Classic.
Well done to her. What a race to pick for your first foray over 70mins eh?

Really enjoyed yesterday and many thanks to the marshalls and all involved.
Thankfully the weather held up - actually warmer than predicted. Quite pleased with my time though lost a few minutes coming down off Dale head. Must do a recce of this........!
