Running 40:00 [5] 7.0 km (5:43 / km) +450m 4:19 / km
Blakes Heaven fell race. It was far from Heaven! Horrific can be the only way to describe it.
Set off well and worked my way through the pack for the first 500m into 5th. Then settled into 3rd, got on to the track and closed the gap and into 1st just in front of Martin MB and some Ellenborough guy. Was in the lead for all of 500m when they went past. Kept in touch until half way up Sharp Knott when I lost a little time. Was 5th at the top of Blake when the weather hit. By far the worst I've been out in the fells in. Descended slowly because didn't want to get blown over and get injured before going skiing. Dropped down to 9/10th. Then hell came, rain felt like needles and I couldn't breath with the wind, felt hypothermic to top it all off. Struggled on slowly, dropped down to the col before Owsen fell and decided to run down to the finish, dropped 50m and the weather just stopped so I climbed back up to finish the race.
Surprised they didn't turn everyone around at Blake fell. Really felt like I could of pushed for top 6 if the weather was good. Surprised myself with how well I was doing until the weather came in. Training is slowly paying off. Looking forward to Carnethy now.

Night O on Swath fell. Nice and fast, ran without a compass because I forgot it so decided to practise map contact. Went pretty well but can see where a compass would of helped alot.
