Steady up the first climb then hoped I'd get going a bit on the egde - I did but Wooders, Ian and Alex were gone and it was a solo run in for another 4th.
Last ran this in 2009, took 44 mins. It is one of the best short races going. Minced down the hill, just not going well enough to keep pushing on tougher descents atm, expected though. Felt better than I expected today though, despite it being warm, humid and polleny.
Good to see Joe Mercer out as well.

New resolution for shorter races is to try and get amongst it a bit more. Settled in a bit off Alex H and Stu on the first climb, gap opened a bit on Lose Hill but then had a good tussle with OJ over to Hollin's Cross. Tried to go up Mam Tor but quads said no to the increased pace, but descended fast enough to get OJ on the road. Fairly pleasing after sat, tues (and weds...), legs limiting factor today, hopefully a bit more available. Good cobweb buster

Brendan: you're looking skinny.
Craig: So does you winning put to bed the idea that big guys can't win long lakeland races?
Whilst I feel best racing at ~72kg, I do suffer uphill too much and sweat heavily. Of course were I to drop too much weight illness and injury would set in. It's interesting that Josh (at a similar height to me) carts around close to 14kg less than I do. I'm tempted to try an 'operation 69', but then again I have thus far run to eat - in the words of Matthew Hulley: "built for comfort, not speed"

Then 4x football pitch strides - cadence a bit low for these.

Next couple of weeks will drop the volume a bit and try to run a bit faster, a few short peak races getting my arse handed to me by the racing snakes and hopefully a Podium. By then it'll be time to rest up for Buttermere.
