Wrekin Streak. High sports 2016 summer series #1
Got wind that this was on from Cath. Henry said he'd be up for it so couldn't say no really.
Not much you can say tactics wise. Just went as fast as I could all the way to the summit. Henry overtook me on the steeper section before it opens out but only a second or so behind him at the summit. Expected him to open up a gap on the descent but it was me who pulled away. Leg strength I suppose.
Despite not feeling a will or need to run fast at all in recent times I enjoyed this greatly so will probably do the other Weds night Shropshire summer series as well..
30th in 22:19
Henry in 37th 22:59

O training over the road from Beaudesert.
Good area but map all to shit because of Monkey trail not mapped. Did ok after first 2 controls again. Kind of leapfrogging Tom for most of it until we both stopped to look at baby Badgers.

Fellsman #7
No intentions of racing it. Idea was to have a long day out and feel fresh as a daisy at the end.
Went round with Mark again. Walked every climb and stopped to chat to folk along the way. Kev Easly at Stonehouse and Paul Nelson up near Redshaw.
Adnan at various stops doing the same as us.
Weather was nice early doors if a bit cold. Very clear skies and snow on Ingle and Whernside. Boggiest year for a long time by all accounts.
Got a bit of a rush on to not get grouped at Fleet Moss so left there just before 7. Slightly better line to Hell Gap this year by handrailing the East fence but turned around and there's about 10 people following us.
Grouped at Cray with God knows who except one guy got pulled out before we even left. He had shorts on and was staggering about. temp got measured at 34degs. The others didn't say much apart from they couldn't be arsed to run and didn't know the way at all. Good job I did. Well below freezing at night. Cold feet was the only problem but moving faster would have cured that.
Obligatory run test from bridge to the school was successful so no energy issues at all. Bit tired by the end though due to it being about 4 in the morning.
84th out of about 300 for a walk ain't bad I s'pose
