I arrived in Glennridding really chuffed that I was 13minutes up on last year.
Only to be informed by Huw that I did 2hrs 36 last year. I still managed a PB but only just. Phew(ski) or what.
Great race, nice conditions, did not enjoy any of the descents and made a hash of all but the one off St Sunday. Found the magic escalator scree run again, but so did everyone else. Baffled me looking for that in training. I always thought it was higher up near the summit and not a bigger secret than I thought (just me trying to be a smarty pants).
Cant complain great day out, legs sore now
Cheers
Jamie
well i didnt enjoy the descents either and mine took longer than yours!Quote:

Cracking photos once again Rob, I enjoyed the Sedbergh hills lot you did.
I especially like the side ways guy on this batch
brill photos - some of them make it look quite rugged out there! Perhaps it was (if you could see through the mist)
Great photos - glad i wore my distinctive st george's cross bandana! Glad you didn;t get any of me mincing down those grassy slopes in my poor choice of shoes that day (Innov8 roclites 285 - not good for wet downhills let me assure you).
Great race, my first time on that one - a good canter round before the trial next week (the mountain trial, i'm not in court or anything)
