Manhar,
I'm nursing a sprain. Should be OK now, but I missed a lot of recent weeks of running. I did Fairfield in 2 hours before the injury. I expect to plod round tomorrow and creep back into the field when everyone else is watching the sheep dog trials !!
Thanks to the organisers of the race today. Very well marshalled and once we understood where we were meant to start. all was well.
For the few of you behind me just prior to the turn, I was the one upto my waist in bog... that'll teach me for not looking for the marked route !!
I was told I was doing well as I was the 2nd lady (only to realise they didnt mean me, but the runner just behind me)....
Having nothing better to do and a large goitre on my neck (is that one of my symptons of cretinism?), I took pics http://picasaweb.google.com/pudgyfat...leyFellRace09#
Looked like a hard race. Lots of knackering XC and then a real beasting on the fell, followed by more wobbly legged XC. Shame I felt unable to do it
Nice to see Mister Wynn again

Had a great time, really enjoyed it for my first race, rolled in 22nd with a time of 58mins, 10 mins off the winner, but he was probably half my weight
I also missed the tags a little bit and went up to my chest in moss, but i was following the guy in front...mistake !

Not one of those pictures looked like a goitre!Originally Posted by Pudgy
Nice pictures.
Really enjoyed the race. Well organised and good fun. A great day out.
I'm left with a windproof cag, possibly dropped by runner # 180.
P.M. me with the make and colour and I will make arrangements to return it.
Turns out I've got swine flu!My apolygies if I've now spread it amongst the fell running elite of mid Lancashire. Or Wheezing Donkey.
Oh well off to bed now

Think that was me you followed ukhursty, first time ive headbutted a mossy bog. You recovered well as i couldnt catch ya, i even ran down a dead end coming off the fell. So you beat me by what felt like miles. Some good pics taken i try to smile but it comes across as pain.
