    the second climb is indeed a killer
    I'm also not a big fan of the contouring bit round the back
    <note to self: do some contouring in training >

    the final downhill mile is splendid though - I equalled my flat mile PB down there last year!

    Re: Famous Grouse

    did a final bit of hill-work yesterday (even included some contouring )

    should be no excuse for my not lowering last year's time by at least 5 mins

    really looking forward to this now

    Me neither. Until then I shall consider myself a PFP = Potential Fell Pony, but I will be running on Sunday in GVS colours.

    Cracking race, crawling with forumites.

    There was indeed a pony in the race - but, alas, no grice (grouses?) - he must've had to stay in and do the washing up.

    Great organisation by Wayne & Rose and their band of supporters.

    Ooo I feel rough after racing today. Tried a little too hard with a cold and sore throat - ahh well, you live and learn...

    For those who are interested, I've attached a Google Earth file that gives you my stats for the race. Sorry about being a complete geek, but it's a new toy!! I saw quite few people with them at the race.

    The file is zipped up.

    Re: Famous Grouse

    small but perfectly formed event this one
    many thanks to organisers and marshals
    great hotpot in pub afterwards
    even managed to knock a couple of mins of my time of last year
    that second hill doesn't get any easier though
