Part shameless plug, part genuine enquiry....
Are any fellrunners out there doing the Tough Team race tomorrow evening?
For those who don't know, it's a truly unique race which includes a climb that will test any runner no matter how strong they are.
You run in teams of three and the time of your last finisher is your team's time - so it's about running as a team and getting the best from each other, as opposed to just running along and adding three times up.
It's 9.5 miles, has road, good path and rough trail in it and is a very hilly course. It includes the railway climb, which is a 330 foot ascent reaching 1:1 towards the top. It is a staggering climb which starts easily, lulls you into thinking it's ok and then rears up to such a gradient that makes running virtually impossible. I'll be marshalling hopefully at the top of the railway to get some photos of people in anguish.
You can enter on the night.
See you there?
