Midsummer Madness

Link works fine for me....pretty good pic of me.

Had a fantastic 3 days of racing. Looking forward to doing it again next year without taking the wrong path on the Tittiman... though I studied the map I got carried away.

I share your pain Damien... I must have been running in the same group as you, and also took the 'alternative' route to the finish of the Tittiman! Kicking myself why I didn't just stop, turn round, and get back on the right route - it would have taken a few minutes, but better than a DNF, especially after running all 3!

Hi Rich, I can now put a name to the face, you pipped me on Reservoir bogs as I went over on my ankle.
Did think about turning round and completing it, but thought I will just have to have a crack at it next year.

Nothing like a bit of unfinished business to get the fire burning...

Cheers Damien, yep I remember seeing you rolling about on the floor, hope there was no lasting damage.
If a year is long enough for me to forget the pain I might also have to return to finish the job properly..!

It was good to meet you too Rich - and congratulations on becoming a forumite and fellow MSM -DSQ (although I chose reservoir bogs to self destruct)
See you at Cragg Vale tomorrow??

[richsund]

Hullo Trig, just figured out who you are!
Yep I'm planning to give Cragg Vale a go tonight, sounds like a good little do - hope my legs are up to it after the weekend!

I'll be there but participation will be limited due to fractured collar bone sustained at Helvellyn & the Dodds. Hope to do the Reservoir Bogs - early start, take it slow but hopefully not as slow as last year!
