York Brass Monkey Half Marathon - 12 January 2020

Richard Thorpe - 1.38.12

Very flat course starting at the racecourse then through rural York. Very wet race, although on the plus side for once this race was not windy and the course is flat. Not done a half marathon for a couple of years so good to do one again and hopefully kick start my training for other races. Charlotte Mason who used to run for PLS finished second female in a time of 1.18.

The freezing conditions did not lead to ice on the course; it seems the race organiser has put things in place since a few years ago when the race got cancelled due to ice. Maybe next year they'll have more portaloos as the very long queue looked like it might delay the start; it didn't somehow. The race has the nice feature of being mostly downhill from 10 miles allowing for the tired legs to get to the finish line that little bit easier (although maybe they wouldn't be so tired if they hadn't had to climb those hills). Times are generally fast for this course and today was no exception, even though it measures long for most!

12th Jan
Peak Raid 3 hour - Calver
17.5 miles

9th Lawrence Eccles 420 points

I had 380 points and decided to make the run for the finish cautiously early. My map reading skills conspired against me and I made a mess of finding the last CP on my planned route by accidentally transposing my position by moving my finger on the map. Even after relocation myself I made a hash of getting to the CP and suddenly the pressure was on to finish under 3 hours. It quickly became apparent it was not possible. Still I tried to cut the corner and inadvertently made my route in even longer; finishing just under 3h07 and losing 20 points. Good fun at least. There are more of these events in the spring/summer.

25th and 26th January
Dark Mountains
Probably 30 miles. It felt like 50 running/walking in the bog and heather in the dark

4th Lawrence Eccles & David Chetta 12:25:59

Dark Mountains was a mountain marathon, which is normally over two days, rolled into one night. I say 'was' as this was apparently the last one. The organiser has retired Dark Mountains to focus on delivering Dragon's Back and Cape Wrath ultra in the same year from 2021. I for one will miss Dark Mountains. Probably the hardest race I've done, demonstrated by two DNFs, one DQ due to dibbing wrong CP and finally one finish. Hopefully I'm not DQ'd tomorrow for going out of bounds.
