Fairfield

Not a lot more to report, other than it was good to see a few old friends at one of the classics. TF showed early, although I had already seen her tent, without knowing who it was who had laid their guy ropes so perilously close to the finishing straight.

Both Trevor Dibben and his sister Jan were there, Trevor obviously not too worried by t'Y having beaten him at WCM (not really a fell race).

After the off (aren't fell race starts wonderfully low key) Mandy Goth was apparent as was Katy Thompson and Bowland Wayne. I pulled away from from all but Trevor and Katy on the way to Fairfield, but after to-ing and fro-ing with Mandy she passed me on the last bit of fell, as had Wayne a bit earlier.

Final result was that I was a minute faster than in 2007, but the wind might have been kinder this year, going from west to east.

Nice chat with the Walkingtons, Rachel M, Colin (?) and TF at the finish before heading for home.  Legs useless on Sunday, how was your outing TF?
