lothersdale fell race

[Bob]

Has anyone done this race before, has anyone got any training tips for the race. Is it a hard course, anyone know any short cuts and routes.

Thanks.

It's an out and back course, no real short cuts as the race takes the best line. Steepest climb to start, then a short descent on a concrete track leads to an easier descent down to a beck. Then it's a long steady pull for about a mile until just short of the summit where it levels off for about 400 yards before the last short climb. Then just do it in reverse. Only likely to be two boggy bits, one just after the start and one about 600 yards from the summit.

Just hope it's not as wild as tonight was.

Richard only has road running trainers....i think we should introduce him to the falling over thread.

Not sure, might nip along anyway. Given the amount of rain we had yesterday, expect a mud fest

and the bad news is...

there is no central heating on in the village hall.

Wrap up warm

[brett]

Well, at least you won't feel the cold

Great news!

Another race where you tell me how you're unfit and just here for a jog, then finish five minutes in front of me!

Unfit, fat, jogging, and got manflu! See you there Dave
