Sped's 3 Peaks. Set off at a decent lick just to see how it went. Catbells was attricional with snow being whipped into yo face the whole way (I was well dressed but ski goggles would've been spot on). I also failed to find the contouring trod and lost ground wallowing in deep snow. Silly me. Still, passed Si Booth on the descent (must be a first) and another new chap. Ran the road with JApple and Si (and Fudge the collie), before me and JApp went up via Ashness and Si went Cat Ghyll. We were slightly quicker but I think we were just moving better. James caught Lee Proc and I ran steadily to Forge bridge with Si recatching me and we beelined up Latrigg. Hit the summit just behind Lee and JApp and I turned to chase but wiped out on the icy path. Caught them anyway by the gate but wasn't interested in racing home, so got in just under 2 hours. Surprised to move reasonably well overall and legs not really tired afterwards.

Chest was sore the last stretch on the flat as I went a little deeper to hold Si at bay.

Quite encouraging
