ahr:151 max:156 shoes: Innov-8 X-talon 212
Bamford sheepdog trials fell race, 4th (1st Carl Bell 31.09)
Made a last minute decision to run this, so much so that I arrived 15 minutes before the start and had no time for a warm up. The first part of the course is along the road and then the railway line, which was good for me. A group of four of us quickly got clear and I just sat at the back, having to run quickly but comfortably. I was waiting to get taken apart on the climb up Win Hill.
Hung in quite well up Parkin Clough, lost a bit of time as it flattened in the middle, but then caught up again on the final climb to the trig. I had thought that if I got to the top in touch I had a chance, but I severely underestimated the rubbishness of my descending. Carl flew off the front, and the other two quickly gapped me just coming off the trig. I held my own on the grassy slopes, but lost more time when it got steeper, and again through the trees. Had too much to do on the railway / road section at the end and made no inroads. Lost 30 seconds on the descent to 2nd and 3rd! Enjoyed it. But just waiting for my quads and calves to seize up.
