That was an expensive run then!Originally Posted by ian e
Well I ran/walked most of yesterdays race thinknig my PB for the course was 2hrs 48mins. So I was over the moon when I got to the stile near hole in the wall. With 18minutes to spare.
I arrived in Glennridding really chuffed that I was 13minutes up on last year.
Only to be informed by Huw that I did 2hrs 36 last year. I still managed a PB but only just. Phew(ski) or what.
Great race, nice conditions, did not enjoy any of the descents and made a hash of all but the one off St Sunday. Found the magic escalator scree run again, but so did everyone else. Baffled me looking for that in training. I always thought it was higher up near the summit and not a bigger secret than I thought (just me trying to be a smarty pants).
Cant complain great day out, legs sore now
Cheers
Jamie

well i didnt enjoy the descents either and mine took longer than yours!
top day out - who needs to run up and down ben nevis to enjoy themselves hey!
Think i did 2 hours 19 mins mate, did so well that i had to count back the checkpoints. Made up.heard you had a good race well done
Ready for full yorky next week, don't think so.
anyone going to tell us who won?
Jonny Bland won, Andy Schofield second.
Two sets of photos from the race: one set whilst running the race, the other set from the climb out of Glenridding and a few from the last checkpoint (but missed the first few runners coming over the wall).

or you can get to them via the Northumberland Fell Runners website here
Cracking photos once again Rob, I enjoyed the Sedbergh hills lot you did.
I especially like the side ways guy on this batch
brill photos - some of them make it look quite rugged out there! Perhaps it was (if you could see through the mist)
Great photos - glad i wore my distinctive st george's cross bandana! Glad you didn;t get any of me mincing down those grassy slopes in my poor choice of shoes that day (Innov8 roclites 285 - not good for wet downhills let me assure you).
Great race, my first time on that one - a good canter round before the trial next week (the mountain trial, i'm not in court or anything)
