WillBill Sheets of drenching rain at Crowden when we arrived to register. The sort of weather than makes you doubt your sanity - and that of everyone else turning up for the race. Fortunately the rain died out come the of, although there was still a strong wind, strong enough to knock you over on the run over the tops. Waterfalls on the edge of the moor were getting blown back on themselves, drenching passing runners. Felt rather weak after the best part of three weeks off and it showed, as I fell behind on the run out past Lads Leap. Felt better on the descent through the old quarry but found the climb back out the other end hard work, despite the assistence of the wind. Struggled for rhythm on the run back - being knocked out by the wind didn't help - but felt better on the final descent. Took this easy as a little slippery & Vinny came past about half way down. The uphill finish was not uphill enough to get back to him - and we finished 21st & 22nd respectively. Time well below that I'd recorded in 2004, although the race was a little longer back then.
