Running 1:06:00 [4] 15.82 km (4:10 / km) +428m 3:41 / km
Great Urban Fell Race running Parkwood, Wincobank, Bolehill. Major cock-up at the start where I took a wrong turn and missed the road to the ski slope, turning back out to Rutland Road instead. Only realised when I ran under the railway bridge - didn't know this was an illegal route though, so decided to crack on up Rutland Road and cut left into Parkwood to minimise my losses. Joke was, I had recce'd this bit at lunchtime, which was why I didn't bother looking at my map! Spent the next few kms trying to chase Nails down, finally catching him at Wincobank.
Took a new (to me) route to the N via Firth Park after that, which worked well. The big final climb felt very hard indeed. Finished first, but not really legitimate since I took an OOB route. Oh well, it was a nice blast around.
