Rydal Round

Thurs 28/07/05

Rydal Round fell race - 9 miles / 980m
14th place - 1hr 38mins 15secs

RHB (section 34C) - Fairfield (yes twice in two days!)

Desparate conditions, but won a Pete Bland voucher, yippee!
Sideways rain and gale force winds, apparently there was a tornado in Brum.
First time I've ever put on my pertex leggings during a race.
Stopping to dress cost me a few places, as my fingers had stopped working, but today was all about survival.
The Ambleside sports were a bit of a damp squib due to the weather, I stopped to watch the wrestling, cycling and guides races.
Pics below of a heavyweight bout and the start of the senior guides race.
I heard the winner of the BOFRA senior race got £100, with £75 for second. Should've done that instead.
