Becareful Disco this might become habit forming

well I decided to heed my own advice and take it easy and let all the silly bu&&ers rush off at the start. No plan to race after last weeks pain and suffering.

Nice and steady to RH where I walked and took on loads of food. I was passed by a multitude before the stream crossing and up the first 50 m but by the top they'd nearly all blown up and I had passed nearly all of them.

No cramp on the top of Whernside so I ran off feeling very happy.

Upped the pace abit then and ran a fair way up Inglebugger trying to chase Nicky down. No chance

I had a weak moment on the last steep bit of Inglebugger but then ran all the way to the finish passing loads of runners hugging legs etc.

Finished 4.09 just as the rain started 20 mins off my PB not bad for a jog round and legs feel ace.

Finally met Ady(very briefly) and Pilgrim. Good to see Manhar on the mend and cheered on by Mrs Stagger. A great event with loads of support.

I hope you all enjoy your beer I've had two bottles tonight so I'm looking forward to tommorrow now.
