It's on again this weekend, moved to sunday presumably due to something called the lower borrowdale skyline.

Cheers to Nick and the helpers, quite a good local race this one, you can make up a few places just by knowing the quickest route up the rocks to the trig.
I was clipping along nicely on the run out, basically hitting my 5k pace all the way to the base of the climb, managed to stay in the top 15 i think. Big climb slowed me a lot and i never picked up speed on the top of the moor really, i was a bit goosed. Had the best descent i've had since pre-covid, fairly strong with nice quick feet if a bit hesitant due to exhaustion. The slabs were great at slowing you down as overtaking room was very limited.

Back on this Saturday. Looking forward to running this accompanied by the venerable Dave Tait. Hope I don't fall on the descent! Any one else knecking a pint on the finishing line!
Lovely morning out in perfect conditions. Loads of runners need to practice faster pint necking! Great to see lots of friends. A grand race - so long as you didn't fall on the descent. Thanks Nick and team.
