Not one for a PB
After success at Ingleborough, my colleagues at work persuaded me to do this one. Never done it before so hey, why not?
I know the course well due to early years of horses, then MTB combined with training over this area with the great Jamie Warburton. Therefore I knew what to expect. I was surprised that I was the only spen runner at the start (where were the ever present race machines??).
Anyway I did OK with 43.53 which got me 41st out of 400 and only a minute or so behind Karen Pickles.
The results are here

Oh and I got stung by a wasp in the face. My face is now numb down one half and apparently I can do a really good Geoff Boycott impression!

both "race machines" were at the harrogate 10k. tony(nearly v45)bradford producing another sub 36min performance on a hilly course and me still reduced to the ranks of spectator(back injury).
Yes, I'm sorry I can't be in two places at once and opted for the easier Harrogate course.
I did the Pudsey 10k last year and my legs have just recovered. I call this course an intruduction to fell running.
Hope you recover from your fight with the wasp and Kevin recovers from his back injury, we need all the runners we can get.
I was surrounded by red and gold on Sunday, unfortunately they were all Harrogate runners!
