Bad move,the first fell race i never enjoyed. time 01:32:50. 2012 Running tonight, feeling good lets see what happens.
My god that was tough the photo's that Steve Graham took say it all. Time 01:31: 17 legs were gone on the first climb,told myself  last year don't go straight up go round. Should have listened to myself.
