Cracking run round Full Tour route this morning with softie and Hursty Nice to see Swoop too

Aye really good run, glad to have done the full route now and have an idea of the racing lines!

Can deffo feel some tiredness in my legs now!

Could have eaten that broth in the cafe about 4 times i reckon!

Good to meet you guys again, and cheers for the tips.

Hursty

PS Nice to meet you Swoop in the car park after!

Nice to meet the three of you today. We managed less than 8 miles but over 2000 feet.
That weather was awful. You did well to do the full course.

Full Tour: 16.82 mi and 4,245ft.

Very enjoyable run despite the weather. Knee just about held up (few niggles from CP7 onwards). Now know I can make it round the Full Tour uninjured. Just got to decide on a target pace for the race now. Will probably end up being decided by what my knee can stand.

Great running with DT and Hursty - one to watch for the future, that one

Also good to tick off a surprise forumite from my Eye-Spy Forumite book after bumping into Swoop apres fell.

Thanks guys - great way to spend a wet 'n' windy Sunday morning.


(Can't upload Garmin data for the link for some reason. Will try later.)

Application for the race printed off this morning and will be posted tomorrow, therefore should get to the organiser some time before the race, but who knows lol!

Couple more tours thrown in before the race should reduce the mental feat of the actual race plus getting every line nailed, i.e finding the best route off big end

Weather definitely made it more fun, i'm glad i didn't shave for a week though, that rain was pretty hard on the face!

Good stuff Hursty. I'm looking forward to seeing how you and softie do on race day

Looking forward to reading the report of 'When Derby Met Softie'.
Or could there be a movie in it?

I won't give too much away TF, but if you want to visualise: picture us, skipping over the tussocks, in slow-motion, to this:

Strolling along country lanes with my baby? - I'd be too polite to question your choice of partner, but think you might need to do some speedwork there, SS....

Given developments on this Saturday's 3 Peaks, I will not be doing that, and so will do a spot of Pendling this Sunday instead. You know the drill by now: 0800, Barley car park.

Random route throwing a few Pendle Cloughs and FTOP CPs together for a c3hr run.

See you there...?
