Shortcut Cam Aug 2020 11:12am, 9 Aug 2020 1,439 posts	Quote Pin Shortcut Cam Thanks for responses. Hopefully didn’t offend anyone. The question popped in to my head after thinking about races like the Devil o’ the Highlands that used to require a support crew.
flyingfinn Aug 2020 1:09pm, 9 Aug 2020 2,091 posts	Quote Pin flyingfinn Opened my Lakes/bg account with a cracking sub 6 trot out on leg 3 this morning, seems my legs still know how to climb and I can remember all the micro lines 😀. One of those days when being out on the Fells as the dawn broke was a privilege 😀.

Mountain Cat Aug 2020 3:26pm, 9 Aug 2020 2,811 posts	Quote Pin Mountain Cat Just caught up and read the suggestion of a BGR race! Heaven forfend. It's disappointing that EB didn't manage the double BGR, but it is an incredibly hot weekend to have tried it. Just coming home from the lakes at the moment, and it was roasting. I'm in the process of fixing my Achilles before attempting to properly build ascent / mileage though, so not doing anything major.

Mountain Cat Aug 2020 3:32pm, 9 Aug 2020 2,812 posts	Quote Pin Mountain Cat I may do that! I've got a plan of action which revolves around eccentric exercises, calf massage and changing my footwear, so hopefully it resolves soon.
