David Staff Memorial Fell Race

David Staff Memorial Fell Race Sun 25th Nov (8.2km/366m)

As a recovery run it was a bit of a lung buster. Felt very conspicuous in the new, just out of the box, bright yellow inov8s, but given the conditions the bright yellow didn't last long.

A good turn out for the race yesterday with over £600 being raised for some worthy causes.

For a short race I've had quite variable finishing times, 55:23 ('05), 1:00:12 (08) and 56:21 this year.

In 2005 I did a xc race the day before (35mins worth), 2008 no record of any Saturday race, and this year Kirkbymoor (82mins worth). Allowing for the ageing process, it would appear that 'resting' the day before does me no good at all!

I'll leave either EtU or TYC to report about the Kirkbymoor race. The results are on Black Combe's website if the suspense is killing you!
