Fell Running race 3:02:15 [3] 18.05 km (10:06 / km) +1391m 7:17 / km
Three Shires fell race
Thought I would have a day out in the mountains. Thought I would start nearish the back as I am very big boned at the moment but I ended up at the very back before I knew what was happening. Had to start off slow as I was caught behind all the more punterish punters. Slowly slowly catchy monkey.
Got caught in a bit of congestions at the ford. Apparently no one wanted to get their feet wet even though most of them had just run through a puddle. Slowly made my way through the field on the track out to the mountains.
Then saw Rhesus and his woofer. Decided to go up the "rough way". Everyone likes it rough. Then everyone was trying too hard for banter which was unfortunate. Then someone commented on how old my shoes were and I realised I was one of those guys. Like the Walsh guys, who have been wearing walshes for the last 15 years so why should they change. And I don't even have the excuse of being 60. Maybe I shall make a return to the inov8s.
Then some more stuff happened.
Got a bit hungry on the way up Blisco so had to have a bit of lunch and lost some places. Saw Lecky at the top of Blisco. Legs started to turn to shit on the descent. Almost caught him by the bottom but I fucked going up lingmore and lost so many places. Lost more on the descent, quads were just gone, I was dehydrated and I had a blister.
Didn't make the sub 3 hours but what can you do. Pver half an hour down on myself 2 years ago and didn't make 10 minutes of mistakes this time either. But I am 2 stone heavier...
