This event is the one which was postponed on 5th December, rushed through to Carlisle straight from work Andrew martindale registered me so i just had to meet up with him and get my number. As it turned out i had loads of time so we had a good warm up, and another,and another, the race was rather late at starting there didn't seem a lot of runners here, but there was a good turn out for Eden runners But no Stu, who was out through injury. I think he is running scared after seeing my super fast performance at Keswick! get well soon mate and well done in the vets. When the race got on the way i stuck to my game plan nice and steady untill i got caught up by Andrew in the next group. They had a 2.5 min hcap. I would try to tag along for a couple of hundred metres then drop off again. It was on the 2nd lap when i was caught, i managed to keep just behind for a little bit as planned.So far so good, then felt the stiffness in the quads and calf's the going was fairly heavy. the last part of my plan was to fly on the last lap. It didn't happen. I think it was my fastest lap but no were near what i was wanting, just to sore on the old legs. When i did finish i was well chuffed because after stopping for a crack with everyone there was no pain in my feet which was my main concern, i think i am over the worst with the plantar fascitis which i picked up in may last year through over training for the Skiddaw race. Ended up just going out taking photos of races for the rest of the season, that is were i met Stu on Skiddaw also armed with the camera it wasn't the best of days as you can see on some of these photos.
