Some pretty impressive times for Winter Hill given the conditions. Well done everyone for completing or having a go. 206 runners set off, some slightly after the word 'go' and 173 returned, including two '109s', which the registration team have to 'fess' up to, but sorted out by the very capable results man. Think we were only one out on the body count compared to MR at the bottom of the ramp, an improvement on last year apparently!

My own training suffered a further set back this week with another nasty little 24hr bug taking over the system, resulting in me being sent home from work yesterday. On the plus side I'm now 3lbs lighter than Sunday morning so not all bad news. Hoping to have recovered sufficiently for my orienteering event on Thursday evening, although I may need to drop down to the 40 minute event from the 1 hour one, again!

Not out Saturday this weekend either as I'm up to Keswick for what was supposed to be a recce for the extended Anniversary Waltz race. Tons of snow and illness has probably curtailed it to a run round the lake now or a gentle trot up Latrigg. Hoping to be out on the 25th Feb, depending on the next doom and gloom ailment.
