Well, my first Lakes fell race and it was a cracker!
I felt strong all the way round, got myself to High Street in 151st so clocked on that I was potentially (& should be) in the top 50%, way better than I was expecting. My descending is 90% of the time better than my climbing so I knew I could gain a few more places on the way back down as long as I stayed strong on the remaining climbs. Finished in 143rd in 2 hours 12, over the moon...
Pre-race I was anticipating finishing at best 70% back in the field but more like 80%...looks like I've potentially done the top half and I felt strong all the way around which was the main thing.
Like Travs said above, tough going on the descent all the way off Kentmere Pike to the lane, very slippery on the rocks but thankfully I managed no falls or injuries. Bring on next year...
