I don't re-read my old Profiles by habit but I refer to:
Colossus A Profile of Ian Holmes The Fellrunner Spring 2007 page 28
"...2001 he did a 10K road race.'I did 31'10" and it was very windy so I am sure I could run faster than that.' But he has never bothered to try."
2001 was of course F&M year which is why he and other Bingley fell runners were doing a 10K road race but it is indicative of Ian's staggering modesty that he did not bother to mention to me at the time I spoke with him that he actually won it.
