A superb day out and an excellent day of performances from our teams.
\nWas this Dark Peaks finest hour in the IHR. Wins for the VETS and
\nLadies and good 3rd place for the open team.<\/p>\n
The vets team was
\nstrong and we all secretly fancied going for the sub 4 hour mark in
\nwhat were good conditions. Mike and Dave ran strongly and plummeted off
\nred screes to bring us home in front and 6th overall. Steve’s
\nexperience made sure no mistakes were made on leg 2 although many teams
\nseemed to have very strong pairing on this leg. At least he and Simes
\ngot the chance to run alongside Ian Holmes for a while before he
\nstarted descending!\u00a0 John\u00a0 Boyle took a good line up the hill from
\nHartsop – and I hung on for grim death and we finished strongly to keep
\ntop spot over a fading Bowland. John and Jon had a 14 minute lead over
\nthe nearest vets team going into leg 4 which they extended to 18 mins
\nby the end. Although John suffered in the second half of the leg they
\nbrought us home in 3:58:47 breaking the record we set in 2007 – surely
\nKendal AC\u00a0 3:50 overall record (for clockwise route) is possible.<\/p>\n
Thanks
\nto all the team for their total commitment to the cause. It’s not just
\na matter of picking a good team –\u00a0 everyone has to perform on the day
\nand so we did. Well done!\u00a0 Pictures to follow.<\/p>\n
