shoes: La Sportiva Bushido

Whinlatter trails and fell with Han, sacked off 'proper' fells as both feeling weary. Tried my new MT prize shoes, Garmin saw fit to delete activity it was so unimpressed.

slept:9.5 shoes: Mudclaw 300 'Classic' green

Bits of Langdale and BGL3, including a trip up Jack's Rake, with Hannah. Felt pretty naff but ground it out and started to feel better going up Bowfell. Had a bit of fun coming down around The Band path.

slept:8.5 shoes: Mudclaw 300 'Classic' green

Legs 1&2 of the HBMR with Hannah and Katie Wright. Loaded up my purple pack, unfortunately this doesn't have a chest strap so my shoulders hurt from the off. Got to Kirkstone and decided a good day had been had already, I was feeling a bit leggy anyway and not wanting to over-overdo it so headed down the valley (having vandalised Rhys's car). Met said Welshman, with Ted, on our way down, so waited at Sykeside for a lift back to paternal to save the trudge back along the valley.

Very wet up there.

Inglebrough, Whernside and back watching 3PCX. Nice day, only really saw cyclists lugging bikes uphill not enjoying life.

GCN's Simon Richardson is shit up steep hills.

Sharp Edge and Blencathra with Hannah. I suppose I should run with her whilst on our holiday so double day, felt alright and enjoyed the scramble.

shoes: Mudclaw 300 'Classic' green

up and down the fell with Matt to watch the wimin and have a bit of a recce. In hindsight maybe it was this and too much time on feet that (helped) dull my legs for the race.
2 PM

Running - Road 12:54 intensity: (9:34 @2) + (3:20 @3) 2.96 km (4:22 / km) +22m 4:12 / km
shoes: Xtalon 212 #9 (GtWhernside'17)

Running - Trail 33:32 [5] 6.26 km (5:21 / km) +468m 3:54 / km
shoes: Xtalon 212 #9 (GtWhernside'17)

Great Whernside champs, 41st.

Not happy with this, behind people I'm not too pleased to be so.
Knew not to fly off but once we hit the fell proper, where I was planning to crack on, I couldn't, having been struggling a bit before this and bouncing off the limiter. The group went (driven by Mark Roberts!) and I was left with too much to do on the way down.
I had a good tussle with Nails all the way down, him having caught me just before the summit, but I only really got flying in the last couple of fields to save some local pride nipping in ahead of Neil and Steve Franklin.

However, done some short results digging:
2017: Great Whernside: 41st
2016: Up the Nab - 42nd, Sedbergh Sports - 55th (49th)
2015: Lingmell Dash 21st
2014: Pendle 47th, Hodder Valley 22nd
2013: Blisco 51st (42nd)
2012: Lad’s Leap ~92nd

Basically- Lingmell and Hodder, which were both not very well attended, skew my view of what I'm capable of on short stuff. Gt Whernside had a very strong field. One thing that does stand out though is feeling naff at a lot of these where I'm in the 40s, and even at the other 2. More training would be required to make me a more complete fell runner, not just a long distance donkey. I basically treat them like an evening peaks race so I suppose I get what I deserve.

Eccy, porter and Botanicals ITW. Feeling alright, glad I've taken a couple of days off this week. Let's see what my body can do with a sharp, every-second-counts all-or-nothing blast tomorrow.
