Yes, that's me and yep B-S coming up. There's another local race (Totley Moor) on the Tuesday before B-S but I think I need to make sure I'm totally fresh. Hopefully I'll be reet as long as I take it very steady!
Great time there Stabbsy in the 3 peaks, very impressive, I really struggled, the pace I was aiming for was way to optimistic so started off far to quick, also found all the hard packed trails and tracks tough on joints/Achilles/back. Good atmosphere though, the snow definitely made it memorable. Burbage skyline last night was brilliant, beautiful evening, nice route and loads of people out.
I managed not to get in the way of the Cresswell Crawlers when navigating the narrow path from rubicon avec boulderising pads....

I was going to go for the climbing option but thought I'd end up falling off of something with wobbly legs! I've never run that far before even on road so its going to be challenging. I'm training lots and its paying off though so feeling like i will be ready for september. How hard really is it?
But more currently, who's following Nicky Spinks' Double Bob Graham attempt. Jaw droppingly impressive. I've had two solid nights sleep whilst she's been out there constantly ticking those Lakeland fells!!!

Once you've got the steep pull up on to Derwent Edge then the steadier climb on to Stanage, it's actually a really steady route with no big climbs left, and all easy tracks to follow. It's a great introduction to slightly longer trail races.
Finished and beat the record by over an hour. Unbelievable indeed.
