Grey Badger 3rd time for this event. Lovely scenery. Another lovely sunny day at Bowderdale, maybe a little too hot. Ran ok (4th) but suffered a bit on the big hill where i let the 3rd place guy get too far ahead of me and couldn't catch him. Northumberland Fell Runners 1:25:00 1:25:00 1:26:00 1:25:00 70.66
Jenson Pretty sure that was my finishing time as I crawled over the line! It was another hot one and perhaps I went too quickly along the valley or just my legs were dead from the previous two days (emotional hangover of seeing my dad all smashed up after a fall on the Alwinton Round the day before?) because I struggled to run up any of the smaller hills along the tops...and was reduced to a walk near the finish too. 
Why oh why do I do thse things without training properly?! Ha.
Overall, got to be pleased. Scenery is great, though I didn't spend too much time admiring it...more cursing myself!
Lying in the beck at the end was again a wonderful treat. Atmosphere is lways tops.
Was a bit 'star struck' and pleased to see that Grey Badger was right up there at the front again. Well done mate.

Note to self: Blaydon Races next year will be a lot less painful. esk vally fell club 1:49:18 1:49:18 2:00:00 1:49:18 56.41
