You must have the knack of spotting forumites. I didn't spot anyone - sorry! I'll wear a red carnation next time.
A great day though. Sunburnt shoulders, cramping legs up Cat Bells. I did a double take as Angela Mudge crossed the finish line. What a great performance knocking 4 minutes off the ladies record.
I must recce the line across Maiden Moor properly - I was all over the shop. Must have lost some time there. Loved all the descents though. Did anyone else go round the right hand side of the tarn? I was lucky to find a grassy line all the way there. Thanks to all the organisers and marshalls. I was roasting out there and they were wearing all their woolies on the tops.
Wonderful to hear the cowbell too.

Nice to catch up with Jamie and Catherine last night, not sure what happened to the statement of only having 2 pints of guiness Jamie![]()
