when fellrunning/racing?
A post I contributed to on the facebook page inspired me to start this up.
I've only been racing 4 years so obviously most of my experiences have consisted of toil and pain, but there's been a couple of funny interludes. But in the massed ranks of experience on here, surely a few people have some good anecdotes...
One from me...
Final mile of Peris Horseshoe in the fields before the railway line. I was having a savage mid-pack battle to gain a place. As we crossed the field there was a stile in the middle of nowhere with nothing connected to it on either side. Just sat in the middle of a desolate field.
My rival was rather confused at this stage and climbed the stile for some reason, but they got stuck on it with what appeared to be severe cramp, and I ended up beating them by about two minutes.
I have done something vaguely similar at the end of a very cold Marsden Edale Trigger. Although I didn't find it quite so amusing...
