Fell Race race 2:22:19 [4]
Anniversary Waltz as part of Claire's 40th birthday weekend.
Nervous about surviving this but it was such a beautiful day and the views were incredible. I started near the rear because I couldn't find my pals so opted to work through the crowds on the 5k run out to the hills. Caught Jo Buckley but saw no-one else until we started climbing Robinson - then I saw Claire 80m in front. And she stayed about there for the next 90 minutes! I couldn't get near her! The wheel came off after 1;45 when my legs stopped being mine. I almost failed to climb the last hill and practically wobbled down the last slope - only to find a stranded buddy prone on the track, blaspheming to some tourists. Managed to get him to his feet and we both staggered to the end - passed in the last moments by a "Skipping" Becca.
Oh what pain, and oh what fun! Very memorable and chuffed to have survived it (3 days later the quads at still stuffed though!) License to eat and drink to excess at Claire's bash :-)
