Hawewater Half Marathon - 13.1miles / 1000ft
36th place - 1hr 26mins 08secs

Dragged myself out of bed after a 3am finish for this.
Did the usual set off too quickly thing, the first gal sailed past after 2 miles.
Managed to hang on to a trio of Keswickians (Dave, Dave and Keith) who passed me just after the hotel.
Strangely the return leg felt much easier than going out and I didn't blow up until the last half mile or so.
Vociferous support from Phil Davies on his bike, the driving rain certainly wasn't putting him off.
Nice to see fellow hill billies Adam Breaks, Chris U and James Hyde running so well.
Decent time considering the weather and climb involved, looking OK for London if I buckle down and don't get crocked.
