After having to cancel last year due to a pulled hamstring in the months before which totally put me out of action, I'm going for an attempt starting Fri 17th May at 7pm. I supported a few rounds last year so now have a good idea of what to expect but I still have a few sections I need to recce properly (have had a lot of bad weather meaning I couldn't see much!). Currently getting over a slight sprained ankle from going over on microspikes a few weeks ago but I managed to recce Edale Skyline last Friday and it was fine apart from being quite swollen for a day but the physio doesn't seem too concerned :-)

I have the beginnings of a team and think I have all legs covered but am struggling with road support so if anyone will be recovering/tapering that weekend then please let me know. I still have some time and a few more options to try but it is a busy weekend for races unfortunately!

Feeling very overwhelmed by all the logistics and the chance of bad weather (given that I had hail, persistent rain and galeforce winds mid June last year whilst racing in the lakes!), probably more so than the running part at the moment as I can only do what I can do on the day.
