Grey Badger 3rd race of 4 in the Wild Race Series 2006. This one mainly ran on sheep track and fell.
Very hot day hence my slower than expected time. Love the course even the long hill climbing nearly 700ft. A very refreshing sit in the beck afterwards was lovely also. Very happy with my 5th place. Northumberland Fell Runners 1:25:00 1:26:40 1:23:00 1:26:40 68.71
Jenson First ever 20k (done a 1/2 mar before), perhaps a bit ambitious?! Especially up that bloody climb before half way! Ha ha.
Think it may have been a bit shorter than 20? Anyway, was really (maybe overly) cautious not to go out too quick. Galloped down the big descent, hence legs having momentary 'time-out' near finish but happy to have met the challenge.
Not too hot as had feared and great atmosphere again. 
Sitting in the beck definitely recommended! esk vally fell club 1:49:18 2:01:35 2:10:00 2:01:35 50.64
Running Beard Very warm - the head wind going up the valley was very welcome.  This a week after Garburn with Blaydon as the filling in the sandwich was probably too much for me - especailly as all were in the heat Elvet Striders 1:41:48 1:41:48 1:42:00 1:41:48 57.53
