When I first heard yesterday that a runner from the Ian Hodgson Relay had been taken to hospital, and then that he'd died, I scoured the forum to find more details, thinking it was probably someone old and unfit like me that had been dragged in to make up the team. Tragic as that would have been, to then find out today that it was DazH, one of the fittest and most respected fell runners - and so relatively young was indeed a shock. It just doesn't seem fair.
I hope his family can take some solace in the number of tributes that I have since read which show the genuine sense of loss that the fell running community are feeling.
