| Crookstone Crashout DPFR race. Different route from Rowlee Br, Crookstone Knoll, Edale YH, Blackden, Knoll again and back. This was the biggest hill I have run up for some weeks (300+m) and we had to run up it 3 times. Not such a big field, but the best thing about the race was that I got to run it with Dangima Sherpa, a Nepalese Sherpa and 2x winner of the Everest marathon. He's over in the UK training for more conventional marathons. He was fast on the uphills, but didn't know the route so we stuck together. It was depressing to be puffing and panting my way up the hills while he was barely out of breath! We finished together with a decent lead. |
| Running 20:00 [2]3 km (6:40 / km) | |
| |
| Warm up and warm down for the Crookstone. |
