Rydal Round

Thursday 27/07/06

Rydal Round fell race - 9miles / 3040feet
21st place - 1hr 40mins 33secs

El Scorchio. Felt hotter running here than in Italy.
Somewhat different to last year's race when I finished in overtrousers, hat and gloves.
The altitude training seemed to have no effect whatsoever as I flagged as soon as the gradient steepened on Nab Scar.
Perhaps not fully recovered from battling round the SkyRace with the shits.
Post race entertainment as usual in the form of wrestling, trail hounds and bofra races.
