Well, I ticked Longshaw on Saturday, and despite Friday nights beer and wine had a surprisingly good run for me!I must say however, I have never seen a St John's Ambulance so busy after a race. A friend who I car shared with has a suspected broken toe, another lady a badly sprained ankle and one guy with barely any skin left on either knee - and that's just whilst I was talking to my fellow runner. More were waiting for seats later on!! Luckily my tumble was injury free bare a couple of very tenderised thigh.Wet conditions and narrow 'sheep trails' covered by long bracken made it a footfall lottery - the joys of fell running!

Not sure if its the same Mick Fowler too in at 134th?
I was 23rd so just in front. The bit down from winyards nick was my worse bit, I'm really bad at going down hill and I often lose places. Exterminator on Sunday!

Good effort there folks! If I may ask, for carrying the full approved FRA kit, is anybody aware if I'm likely to get it all in a 3l waist pouch such as the ones produced by OMM and Innov8? I saw the 6l OMM one with a bottle holder but like to travel as light as possible.On the hydration front, is it possible to buy gels that fulfil both a carb/electrolyte function as well as hydrating one? I was thinking a few Capri Suns might pack away well into a small bumbag but I don't know. Perhaps taking a bottle is necessary/desirable for races over 12 miles?The OMM cypher smock arrived this week which at a reduced price of 65 fuck alls I was pretty pleased with. Good to have in the sack for bouldering walk-ins too.
