Right, this is interesting for me....these are my positions on each leg (actually within that leg, not at the end of it)
Start > Robinson 170th:eek: Did feel pretty rough to start with.
Robinson > Hindscarth 123rd That's more like it :)
Hindscarth > Dalehead 121st Movin' on up, movin' on up :D
Dalehead > High Spy 187th:mad: A combination of a bad line off Dale Head and a "secret shortcut" on High Spy. Doh!!!
High Spy > Cat Bells 140th Followed Wendy Dodds on a good grassy line
Cat Bells > Finish 152nd. Surprised by that, thought I ran quite well. Went a bit far right at the top and had to cross the rocky path, perhaps that lost me some time?
So if I'd just felt a bit better at the start...and done a recce and chosen better lines over Dalehead and High Spy....
would have been looking at finishing a good 20-30 places higher. Ah well, something to aim for next year.
I take it you must have passed me on route from High Spy to Cat bells then, when I ran out of steam!!Quote:

Sorry I didn't hear you, I was that busy trying to ignore the blisters and cramp!! :mad:Quote:

I think this was a mistake on my part as he went to the right of the ridge up to Robinson, I had a brief chat with an Ambleside runner (Nick Fish?) who was in this select group of 4 & we both agreed that it was no surprise that noone else was following us :o :D . I'm pretty sure it was at this point I was Mudged.Quote:
