Haweswater and back

Arrived in falling snow,  turned at the halfway point in a snowstorm and drove back through a blizzard - other than that my debut in the Haweswater half marathon was a successful outing, being by far the oldest entrant yet finishing 356th out of 503.

Checking previous results had suggested slow times could be expected and given the hilly nature of the course this proved to be the case.  My target of 2 hours was always going to be a challenge, getting harder as the finish approached, and my efforts were rewarded with a time of 1 hr 58 mins.  Placing was first over 75, there being no other finishers over 70.

Other results of interest?  Brendan Bolland (Horwich) 1.24 and Erica Booth (Horwich) 1,47.
