I had a fantastic time up and down Penyghent, alas once again the section from Tarn Bar to Ribblehead did for me again. For the second time I misjudged the distance and went far too easy, nursing myself with Whernside in mind, only to miss the cut off. I'm usually good at pace and hitting targets. Although I missed it badly, it's partly because I realised the game was up at Lodge Hall and the toys went out of the pram.

If I go again, that section will have been practised until I know every feature and time point along the way!

I definitely made a bad choice of shoes in Wave Harriers, I desperately needed studs.

Firmly agree that it's 3 AS races with a cheeky 6 mile fast trail race slipped in between. I'm fine with the 3 AS bits, need to sort out the trail race!

What a great event though, a magical sense of occasion. And really we were lucky with the weather, the rain stopped pretty much dead on the start time.
