All went wrong on descent (as usual). Lost about 4places on way down skiddaw due to being too careful. Then another few on descent around Latrigg due to my feet hurting so much. Blister under each big toe, one heel blistered and two very tender heel pads. I dont think I'm gonna be able to use Walshes, they seem too soft (although this race featured quite hard, rocky ground most of the way, I'm sure boggy, grassy ground would be better).
