Wind, Hail, Sun and Rain on today's Chicken Run. It was one of those days when choosing what to wear was a dilemma and after much taking of tops on and off I went for an old Helly Hansen Lifa vest under my Outdoor Research Ferrosi Windshirt, which is one of the best and most versatile bits of kit I possess. Overall the combination worked well, other than on one sheltered climb when the sun came out and I was a touch warm for 4 or 5 minutes.

The full results are not out yet and, oddly, no presentations. I was a few seconds slower than 2 years ago but 1st M60. Fellow RATRunners did well with Jim Bligh 3rd o/a and Joanne Mosley 1st Lady. It was also good to see Jake Fearn from Buxton AC back on it and finishing 2nd o/a.

I saw BritNick from this parish finishing but not to speak to. As I write this my face is on fire from a combination of sun/wind burn.

My legs were still a bit tired today from Flower Scar so I will be taking it easy until Lads Leap in a fortnight.
