Running race 3:38:00 [5] 29.0 km (7:31 / km) +1850m 5:42 / km
Duddon fell race 34th/137
Classic race, set off nicely around the field to start (ridiculous start). Got into a decent position after the first hill and settled into a nice pace. Hit the grotty muddy track in the woods going up towards Harter and just tried to keep on my feet. Accented Harter well enough and caught Toby. Ran all the way to hardknott with Toby and down into Mosedale. Went through a bad patch up to little stand. Ran well off the top and got on to the trod all the way down to Three Shires. Started well up towards Swirl How but got my first signs of cramp here. Dropped the pace and lost the two guys I was running with. Frustrating but I carried on to be greeted by Lisa with another water bottle and Nic with food. Munched on sweets all the way to Dow crag. The cramp was on and off all the way to White Pike but I was losing time all the way. Really bad cramp just coming off the top and loads of people went past me. Managed to pull myself together. Was feeling good and strong and ran most of the climb up and past three people. Ran well off Caw, fell into a marsh about 300 metres from the finish and fully cramped up in both legs and couldn't move and one guy came past me. Slowly ran into the finish. Glad I finished and pleased how I dealt with the cramp during the race. My aim was 3:30 and considering I ran about 12km with on/off cramp, I will take my time. Never ran up any of those hills so another five Wainwrights done.

Walking 7:00:00 [3] 20.0 km (21:00 / km) +800m 17:30 / km
Wild night on the col. Had about 4 hours sleep out of the 16 hours we spent in the tent. Weather calmed down so we decided to carry on. Walked up Ladhar Bheinn (1020m) and was soaked to the skin within 10 minutes. Some dodgy moments up a few scrabbles but got to the top, took our time walking off when the weather got better. Then went to pub for beer and food, then backed to the campsite for whisky.
