English and British Championship AS – Blisco Dash. results.
Hot and dry, but thankfully we only had the one hill to get up and down. Senior Men were 2nd, behind Borrowdale – out in depth. Two races left in the English, and everything to go for. Ambleside Ladies were first, hopeful of a good result for our Ladies. No clue as to the V40, and most hopeful of decent points for the V50’s. Next is Turner Landscape, AM, entry form , needed before 4th August.
The results were out most efficiently, no doubt soon on the Ambleside website. Lloyd very high up, Rhys soon after, Judith 4th.
Clear conditions, but it seems that Blea Tarn still had visitors, and several extra-long variations on the descent.
Please ask if any help is needed on getting the Turner Landscape route sorted… Well
Durness Highland Games
Well may you ponder where this is, but a look in the World Atlas shows it as top left coast of Scotland. I find it strange that John Hunt’s family holiday conveniently had a race nearby – wot a coincidence. “
Guess what there was a highland gathering today (just where we’re camped) with a hill race. Just your normal thing until the thunder and lightning passed directly overhead, AWESOME now we’re all home safe and alive. Dark Peak had one runner there, but there wasn’t a team prize, he drifted off the front following a quad bike. I’ve never followed the lead “car” by listening for the engine before. Usually they stay in sight, this guy had no intention of going at a runners pace he just kept blasting off into the hag (clag) and then waiting and then blasting off. It only added to a fun trot of a 4 mile race, that broke into a raging thunder storm after 2 miles, where life literally hung in the balance. It was brilliant, he was the annoyed one because none of us could run up gentle inclines at 30+MPH. DPFR can now add the Durness games hill running winner to their list. I won the open and the open mens over 35 category, which after warming up by coming 3rd last in the 440yds track race 15 minutes before the start was not in the bag on the start line. These highland games are awesome, my kids did the 100yds, 50 yds sprint, sac races, egg and spoon races and pillow fight.”
Lingmell Dash:- results. An extremely high 3rd place for Ashley! Has he beaten the might of Borrowdale? or were there only 14 runners….
Lakeland Classics updated – yes, three wins, but Borrowdale and Ambleside are also in the points, and I can’t hear that fat lady singing even a note…
