Longridge (Christmas Pudding) 7 Sunday 9th Dec

The bad news is that this was another PW:-

(Son-in-law Jorge placed 120th in about 61 minutes)

The good news is that there was no recurrence of the worrying breathlessness that visited me at the Kirbymoor Fell race race two weeks ago - so I'm just unfit, rather than closer to death's door than I had recently thought.

The conditions were blustery but apart from that, generally fine and bright and a good time (!) was had by nearly all.

No show from Matt due to injury, see his post dated 7th Dec, and no show from SN, just an 'Oops!' text as I ate a rather mediocre post-race lunch at the New Drop, an over-large 'pub' just after the three mile point on the race route.

PS:- the puddings were Morrisons 'cheapest available' - but as they say, the proof of the pudding...
