Hatterrall Sledge Fell Race. Last minute decision as I thought it about time to test my ITB properly. Plan was to take it steady and slow if it started to hurt in any way. However, the problem was a soon as I started that I was so unfit that taking it at a steady pace was really hurting! Quads being a pain all the way up the first climb, meaning I couldn't get into a stride once it levelled a bit. Second climb went much better but quads and back still at me. Didn't know the short-cut off the top from CP4 and lost about 150m to hoses who did (which annoyingly, was the guy right behind me!). Didn't go all out on the descent (which was easy and fast) but still ran okay and had no complaints from the ITB.
So a bit of an odd one, not fit at all but ITB appears to be happy, so pleased and disappointed at the same time. Amazing day, pouring sweat in the sunshine. Also a great spread of chips and sandwiches after (and a drink at the finish) - all for £4.
