Wasdale

Sat 09/07/05

Wasdale fell race - 21.7miles / 2575mtrs
(British, English, Lakeland Classics and CFR champs race)

50th place - 5hrs 5mins 57secs

RHBs (all in section 34B) -

Illgill head 609mtrs (did we summit this?)
Seatallan 692mtrs
Pillar 892mtrs
Great Gable 899mtrs
Scafell Pike 978mtrs

We started off in searing heat and I started off too quickly (again).
Thankfully there are plenty of becks all the way round, unlike the second half of Ennerdale.
Wilted coming off Gable and followed some numpties who took the tourist track off instead of the faster stuff to our right (who's the numpty then?)
Got a minor boost on top of the Pike and passed the guys I climbed it with but still lost two places further down Lingmell.
First ever British champs points, just wish I'd persevered at Ennerdale to count for the Lakeland Classics.
