Anniversary Waltz

[alwaysinjured]

Fascinating

Have no idea , who took the contour on grass of dalehead.

What I can tell you , is I had an all round crap day. Hills I easily ran up on
the reccie , I had to walk, and I was losing ground all the way. And a record PW for the climbt to robinson. Something to do with carrying a load of
climbing equipment down a very steep hill the day before I think.

But theres the fascinating thing.

I was being overtaken all the way up to high spy , and was only trotting down but despite that still went dalehead to high spy a minute quicker than all around me

And my clubmate, who I know used the route, went from dalehead to
high spy almost 3 minutes quicker than those around him

I would love to know who else went this route, to see if the pattern
continues!

Thanks Mike. I like the spreadsheet best as you can do lots of things with it.
Using "sort data" I have plotted my descent through the field:
Robinson 143rd in 58.00 (It was 58.59 actually but they weren't recording seconds there)
Hindscarth 147th in 1.13.52
Dale Head 148th in 1.26.01
High Spy 162nd in 1.48.20 (unintended detour)
Cat Bells 173rd in 2.16.13
Finish 181st in 2.27.57

Arrghhhh It doesn't work properly. I'll fix it later.

Great to meet all the forumites. Do I get a prize for predicting Fellrunner would be first back? I was obviously a year early, as my time last year was more or less identical to Fellrunner's this year. (6 minutes slower this year - 1hr 52min.)

I can also claim membership of the club that went to the knoll to the right of High Spy! I reckon it cost me roughly half a minute, so no big deal.

GeoffB, as Mud has hinted I was well beaten by Harry Howgill.

Them's proper hills.

Despite the fact that I should have been given a handbag & called Cindy for my descents off Dale Head & Cats Bells I got round in 1:46:26. Somewhere along the route I was Mudged, I'm going to have to pick my races more carefully .

.

Perhaps you were mudged on the startline Fellrunner?!!! - as Angela was 6th by Robinson -

I suspect you would have been passed when the field split at the head of the first valley

more impressive is being mudged on the descent from Cat Bells to the finish -
you don't even have the excuse of a hostelry on the run in!

Fairly sure everyone went off to the right until I arrived and went straight on.
And I was about half way down the field at the time.

GeoffB, as Mud has hinted I was well beaten by Harry Howgill.

Good point - but I don't think Harry H. was in the original start list, which made him rather unpredictable! Was I first V40 forumite? (I'm clutching at straws a bit, here).

I went direct to the tarn (along with Mike Robinson), but we went to the right of the tarn - I'm sure it would've been quicker going to the left & crossing the tarn outflow. A couple of guys seemed to make ground on us going that way.

Robinsons 230
Hindscarth 238
DaleHead 238
High Spy 240 (curses!!)

Well at least I only dropped 5 places in the whole race!!
