My main 'medical' problem was with my hard contact lenses, which had grit sandblasted into them going up PYG and just got worse from there. I actually had to run with my eyes shut at times. Maybe I did an extra peak by mistake and that's what took me so long. My corneas have a fetching artex-like finish this morning; think I'll be wearing my glasses for the next few days.

Bad luck MG, you looked gutted at Ribblehead. Thanks for letting me have a drink as I was searching frantically for my bottle, which had migrated several rows from where it ought to have been.
Awww sorry you had such a bad run TF! It's no wonder you couldn't see your bottle though! Well done on keeping going and getting yourself round. Hope your eyes are ok now, it was very dusty yesterday.

I am feeling very deflated this morning, weak and weary, shaky and nauseous. I couldn't understand how it took me longer to get up PYG than last time when I am so much fitter this year and have done everything right leading up to it training wise!
Had a terrible run and even struggled to get along the road section when I should have been raring. :thunbdown:
I'm still sat in tears! A big confidence knock too! I need to get a grip, pick myself up and start again! :closed:
