Inglebrough, Whernside and back watching 3PCX. Nice day, only really saw cyclists lugging bikes uphill not enjoying life.

GCN's Simon Richardson is shit up steep hills.

Running - Trail 38:21 intensity: (18:21 @1) + (20:00 @2) 5.68 km (6:45 / km) +336m 5:12 / km
shoes: Mudclaw 300 'Classic' green

up and down the fell with Matt to watch the wimin and have a bit of a recce. In hindsight maybe it was this and too much time on feet that (helped) dull my legs for the race.
2 PM

Running - Road 12:54 intensity: (9:34 @2) + (3:20 @3) 2.96 km (4:22 / km) +22m 4:12 / km
shoes: Xtalon 212 #9 (GtWhernside'17)

Running - Trail 33:32 [5] 6.26 km (5:21 / km) +468m 3:54 / km
shoes: Xtalon 212 #9 (GtWhernside'17)

Great Whernside champs, 41st.

Not happy with this, behind people I'm not too pleased to be so.
Knew not to fly off but once we hit the fell proper, where I was planning to crack on, I couldn't, having been struggling a bit before this and bouncing off the limiter. The group went (driven by Mark Roberts!) and I was left with too much to do on the way down.
I had a good tussle with Nails all the way down, him having caught me just before the summit, but I only really got flying in the last couple of fields to save some local pride nipping in ahead of Neil and Steve Franklin.

However, done some short results digging:
2017: Great Whernside: 41st
2016: Up the Nab - 42nd, Sedbergh Sports - 55th (49th)
2015: Lingmell Dash 21st
2014: Pendle 47th, Hodder Valley 22nd
2013: Blisco 51st (42nd)
2012: Lad’s Leap ~92nd

Basically- Lingmell and Hodder, which were both not very well attended, skew my view of what I'm capable of on short stuff. Gt Whernside had a very strong field. One thing that does stand out though is feeling naff at a lot of these where I'm in the 40s, and even at the other 2. More training would be required to make me a more complete fell runner, not just a long distance donkey. I basically treat them like an evening peaks race so I suppose I get what I deserve.

Note
slept:8.5 (rest day)

Feeling a tad run down and frumpy. This week is as good as any to ease off a bit, let a fee niggles settle and let the last 4 weeks or so soak in.

Walked ~6miles

...flight delayed so a bit more time to play with. 4 Meersbrook park reps. First 2 good (3.24/26), 3rd slowed (3.33) then 4th was toppling off the cliff (3.44) so called it a day.
