Well, just returned from the Lakeland race. Lovely day, lovely course. The hills were challenging and the weather humid. Thankfully the rain held off and the sun didn't shine brightly on us-good running weather.
I finished 10.35, to be honest I was pleased with this. Depressingly, we saw a couple of elites finish the 100k before we had even hit our start line - they were powering in at nine and something hours : how, how, how can they do these superhuman times, incredible.
Loved this day. Many good memories of previous Lake District events came flooding back, was good to be out there today.
Favourite beautiful moment had to be looking back from the top of the longest climb I had attempted for a while, Helvellyn, amazing. Favourite comedy moment was trying to take a dodgy selfie when a work colleague ran past : huge congrats to him, first ultra and a superb finishing time.
Buzzing. Absolutely buzzing.
