SOL at Culteucher - (part of ) Brown Course
Legs were a bit trashed from yesterday and left knee had been nipping after the race, but felt ok this morning and jogging to the start. Took the pace steady through first few controls but started feeling knee nipping again on steep climb to #4. Was getting gradually worse and the deep heather approach to #7 was enough to prompt the decision to about turn and head to the finish. A bit gutted as did well last time here but glad I made the decision when I did. May need a couple of rest days and some rolling to settle it down.

Coledale Horseshoe Race
One of my favourite races and a great end to the holiday. Started well and pleased with climb up Grisedale Pike, over half a minute faster than last year when I was running well. Headed across to the snowy climb up Eel Crag which was quite a scramble. Legs really started to feel the hard climbs, almost cramping, but held a decent pace. A lot of fast/rough running to the last hill Barrow and was battling with some guys who were handy on the downs. Unfortunately the legs were pretty goosed on the last fairly easy climb so they got a gap but happy enough with the run overall. Finished 23rd, 5th vet in a strong field boosted by the presence of the Salomon team. Great conditions, sunny with light winds and chilly on the tops. Legs now trashed!
