Hi

New to fell running, infact I did my first proper fell run last night. I've been doing some failry serious road & trail running over the last 9 months and getting some respectable times, but then a friend recommended 'feet in the clouds' and the door to fell running was opened before me.

So last night, on the way home to London from Cardiff, I ran up Twmbarlwm and to my supprise it only took 15 minutes, but I ended up walking pushing my legs for about 1/5th of iot. Is this normal?

Anyway it gave me the confidence to enter a couple of races over the summer and I will probably choose the Ingleborough Mountain Race and another AM or BL race. Ultimatley I'd like to do enough to qualify me for the 3 peaks next spring. Can anyone recommend another good race which would be fairly easy to navigate for a newbie in these categories?
