Still too heavy to run
Done this one for the last couple of years, its a good little race. Can't make it this year cos I'm still recovering from man flu.
Suprised to see Brummy John interested in this, didnt think the boys in black ventured out of the borough of Rochdale these days
enjoyed this, lack of fitness showed and my ankles hurt a lot so I don't think the big come back will be just yet, didn't see anyone else though, were you all hiding again?
Saw you at start and you were already back when I finished, just got my breath back and you'd gone. Did you have a multicoloured hat on?
It was hard on the ankles with all that ice and frozen mud. Also a tricky finish with all the loose rocks eh. What a nice route, some stunning scenery.
Think I managed just under 1:15 which is good for me so I'm chuffed.
why do we do?:wink:

I suspect that was me, there was only 2 Kcac runners out and the other one wore a cag over his vest. Must be slowing up if I was still around when you finsihed
See you on monday at Ilkley moor race, less you are doing the cyclocross at Tod tomorrow.
I was there as well as the sole Valley Strider representative. I think I know who you are now AS. Will come say hi on Monday evening.
Was a bit brutal underfoot today! Far too hard for fell shoes and injured foot and my lack of actual training meant an under par performance.
Suppose its good to get the shockers out the way early on in the year?

Loved this though was a hard course straight after the Auld lang Syne. I thought that it would be easier with all the mud frozen hard but that just created other problems - I was like Bambi with brand new legs unable to stay upright!
Did it in 1hr 17mins which was okay - just need to work on that down hill on rocky, loose terrain to get better at this one.
Good race - very well organised - thanks Allan!!
Why not run in the rain?
I think we must be twins seperated at birth given we have the same injury issues, I now have stabbing pains up my ankles when I walk, it was fun taking the dogs out just now.
I intend to be there on monday see how it goes, am cyclo crossing tommorrow, this is part of my plan to gently ease back into racing and training after 5 low milege and minimal racing in order to cure my injuries
Gutted, found out this morning that there is a reservoir called Ogden reservoir just outside of Blackburn, unforunately i discovered this because i spent most of this morning driving round it trying to find the fell race, hence my no show at the race at ogden reservoir, just off from the A629, gutted, gutted , gutted
