Noon Stone

First of the English championship.

A chilly morning greeted everyone with snow and ice on top of the hill and with the ground being wet I decided to wear my X-talon’s and I don’t think I could have picked a better shoe. It performed perfect through the bogs, snow, ice and over the rocks. I started steady not knowing how fit I was and after about 40mins of running found myself in around 28th position. Feeling good I decided to push on and gained a couple of places along the top. After about an hour running and only 1 mile left with a small steady climb and the descent to the finish I started to feel a bit dizzy and before I knew it I was struggling to stand up. I finished in a disappointing 67th place. Still some work to be done after being off with injury through winter but I’m sure by the time Coniston comes around I’ll be able to keep the pace.
