Did the half and my poorly foot doesn't seem significantly worse than when I started, so am feeling relatively chuffed. (Might not be able to walk in the morning though....)
Managed to miss Stagger altogether. Waved at Chris Brown but his mind must have been on higher things and he didn't notice me, which made it look as if I were a sad bastard pretending to have a friend.
Introduced myself to GrahamB after many years of seeing him at races, and he appeared very worried when I said I was on the forum, and immediately apologised (pre-emptively) in case I happened to be someone he might have offended! A tad defensive, n'est ce pas?! No Graham, we're all one big happy family in fellrunning, as you know.
On the other hand, I didn't quite dare to approach Antisocial, a) because it would have meant asking someone 'Are you Antisocial?, and I might have been wrong, and b) because calling yourself 'Antisocial' is a pretty clear signal you don't want to be approached by randomers (a bit like calling a Rottweiler 'Tyson').
Briefly renewed acquaintance with Brett; one day day we'll actually remember each other.
Did however have another chance to chat with my Borrowdale race buddy Sunnysideup, proving that Calder Valley and K&C aren't always at complete loggerheads.Or maybe it was because I was in my Baildon vest today.
All in all, a good turn out from the forum, and an enjoyable race in beautiful countryside. The sun even beat down around midday.
