A hangover in my legs from the OCTs and the impending efforts of the 3 Peaks Yacht Race made it an easy decision for my 3PYR partner and I to do the short course and then enjoy Ennerdale Blonde ale in the sun for the rest of the day. That and the small matter of a stag night in the pub for a certain DPFRer too....
The short course was really enjoyable - 4 miles of gentle climbing up to Dow Crag followed by 5 miles of really fast and tactical ridge running back down the end of the long course. Great fun!
