Grizedale Horseshoe Race

[Stefan B]

Well, it wasn't as bad as it could have been. We started in good weather but it did get very wet, cold and windy on the top with very poor vis. We even had hail at one point. I take my hat of to the marshals; I wouldn't have wanted to be standing around in that. Top, top marks.

As for me, the less said about that the better. I was going great guns until my lack of race prep led me to missing the left turn up the last climb and the final check point. Oh well, it's all experience in the bank. I won't do that again!!! As it was, a great day out in a beautiful place. Great training for the Skyline later this month.

Thanks to the organisers and to all involved (especially the marshals!)

Carlsberg don't do fell races but if they did this would be it---! The toughestAM fell race in the book.
The people who gave up their time today were all just the best---- a special mention to Raynet and the marshals not easy for them all it was rough out there today
I was shadowed by Dave the sweeper all I can say is a nicer bloke I could not have met----one in a million top bloke thank you so much

All the preamble about how tough it was actually had be worried! It was fantastic! (A proper tough race but not a monster!) Don't know why I haven't done it before, a great day out and BIG thanks to the marshals, especially at the windier checkpoints. And smelly egg sandwiches at the finish:thumbup: See you all there again next year.

Well said! Great race. I finished officially, that's all I'm going to say just made it into the hall for the prize giving

Certainly was a bit rough at times, I even had to put my gloves on going up the first climb )

1st time at this one having wanted to do it for years, and definitely not disappointed. A great event, great organisation, and a good field to support the race. Didn't even have to walk far for the post-race river wallow!
