Right, who else is up for this spectacular but hilly race?
It was a toss-up between this and the Lancaster 1/2 and I've decided on this one, my reasoning going something like this:
Upside: Because I train a lot on hills I'll have a relative advantage over the rest of the field.
Downside: the rest of the field most likely consists of die-hards from the local fell running clubs.
The course record for the full and half is 2.51/1.13 so that gives you some idea of what it's like.
Go on, you know you want a weekend in the Lakes!

It's only £8 and that includes a T-shirt, and as far away from a concrete jungle as can be imagined.
SB, sorry you can't make it when you're in the UK. I was quite tempted by the Great Scottish Run but it'd be a long day out so...Are you seeing Drew there?
From what I remember of the terrain around Langdale I guess a pb isn't on the cards??
Something weird is happening - several of my replies haven't registered even though I'm sure I hit the submit button. Could be my alter ego saying : 'what the hell are you doing wasting time on here when you should be filling in your self-assessment form'.
Vrap, please do. Coniston 14 is a great race (March), and another good place for a weekend in the Lakes. I'll be promoting it nearer the time on the forum.
- an english teacher
- an amateur thespian
- barking mad
or possibly all three. Excellent! Should make for an amusing day.
