British Fell And Hill Relay Championships - 19 Oct 2019
Fairholmes in the Peak District

199th 06:30:50 Penny Lane Striders A (Mixed)
Leg 1 - 7.65km/360m
Sarah Jackson 01:13:17 (234th)
Leg 2 - 12.3km/ 484m
Michael O'Rourke/Simone Capponi 01:36:59 (158th)
Leg 3 (Nav) - 11.2km/570m
Hannah Lennon/Freddy Frost 02:28:37 (205th)
Leg 4 - 7.8km/375m
Laura Hennahane 01:11:57 (219th)

The day started and finished in the Liverpool's darkness, but at Fairholmes the sun shone all day long, making it the strongest performance in this club's history.
Ground was firm on the day, and being a clear day, there were no navigational blunters like last year, in fact there were some interesting route choices which we discover too late to take advantage of, but you live and learn, we will go next year and give a proper crack at it!
NOTE: all distances and elevations mentioned are indicative, based on the RO's ideal lines, which very few teams managed to conquer on the day, certainly not us :wink: for example for leg 2, my watch shows 13.5km/590m

All six PLS showed amazing strength and determination.
A special shout out goes to Hannah, who I failed to brief about the potential for "roughness" in the nav leg's terrain, so she got a bit of a shock to the system, but by the time she picked up her complementary beef/veg chilly and cup of tea at the marquee, she was all smiles again!
You're officially a fellrunner now Hannah, I promise :snow_capped_mountain: :clap:

Keep you diary open for mid October 2020 folks, I want PLS out in MEGA force!
Target: beat all local opposition :snow_capped_mountain: :muscle:

Surprisingly the men won the team prize (not that there's any prize yet as the prize is based on the best 5 scores from the 6 races) after I'd assured everyone that Mersey-Tri won and we'd be lucky to be second. I overlooked that Mersey-Tri lacked the over 40 runners; each team of 6 needs at least one over 40 (over 35 for the women, and they only need 3 for a team). Back on course and it was muddy, although not too heavy going. The sun was out and it was a nice day for running around a park, twice.

27th October
Clwydian Hills Fell Race
8.5 miles

4th Lawrence Eccles 1:20:04
31st Simone Capponi 1:40:48
62nd Michael O'Rourke 1:57:39
72nd Lenka Vidamour 2:01:29

The sun came out to make the Clwydian Hills look nice. Lots of free race photos are available online in a similar vein to cross country. There was also post race soup and hot bread along with cake and tea. The race was nearly won by the legendary Manx runner Lloyd Taggart, but a young lad from the Loughborough uni team took the honors and set a new course record. I was left with 4th place, but I did get the series trophy which is a bit of a mantle shelf breaker. Loughborough also took the team prize and first U23 for both men and women. All of team PLS did finish and nobody got lost as far as I am aware. The race does allow for different routes to be used between the CPs. It's still not clear what the quickest is!

Also part of the ORC, so 50 points for me and Lenka.
