White Holme Circular race

Looks like the weather's going to be like 2 years ago... rain, gusty wind with just a hint of brightness at the end. Quite warm for the time of year though... Looking forward to those conduits!

Strange, I have it down as 'Frozen Mud' in my 2009 diary?

It was a lot colder than it will be tomorrow; I do remember the mud and I was bl**dy frozen!

My lasting impression of this race was 1998 when i was still drunk from the night before.
I was slower than a week in jail. Catch up with you tomorrow Greg:p

After last Saturday's snowstorm thwarting my Ovenden race, keep an eye on this thread for any late updates/cancellations due to freak weather...

Cheers, Allan Greenwood

Maybe see some of you there tomorrow then! New landlords at the Summit pub who only arrived on Wednesday but seem very up for the occasion. I'm sure we will all give them a big welcome!

See you shortly folks - have a good run. I'll be at the junction of the drain / PW. Don't mind gusty wind it's the rain I want to avoid.

Thanks to Allan and the other helpers today for putting the race on. The weather wasn't too bad down at the start/finish but up on the tops it was filthy - windy and rainy and a real slog to be honest. Well done Manhar - your marshalling position was exposed to say the least! I ran with a team mate taking it in turns to act as wind break but to be honest not sure he got much protection from my spindly frame. I'm just about warm now. Time for a pint, pie and a hot bath!

Thanks Allan for a cracking race. Was 9th before pulling my hamstring 4 miles in. In no time i must've been 29th. Managed to run through it and pick back about 15 places.
Knew i should have run in me 3/4 tights. Happy to finish, even if it was in pain

Looked a bit foggy and chilly. Foggy pics on Sportsunday (including Stanners).
