Tour de Helvellyn
(Bad weather route)
26.3 miles, 4,615ft

6th Lawrence Eccles 04.01:43

Normally the route is 37 miles, but the organiser chose to shorten the course for only the second time in the race's history. It is something of a Christmas tradition; more a social than a race. I decided to start with the fast pack this year, hoping the competition would pull me along. It quickly became clear the sheet ice was a big problem. The runners with hobnails gained an advantage, particularly on the downhills, but at the end of the day it was two runners using rubber soled shoes that finish first. Soup, cake, tea etc at the finish hall rounded off the day. I didn't head on to the pub as I took the opportunity to get back to Liverpool before the roads iced up again.

This years race saw an improved turn out to last year. Maybe enticed by prospect of a pie and pint at the end. On the way to the start Terry found a race tag on the floor and kindly handed it in to the race organiser, as no race tag = no time. Turns out it was Dipple’s which could be crucial in the OR Championship standings. The blame for this was put on Lawrence due to the overly aggressive trimming of the cable ties attaching the race tag to save every gram of weight.

It was a dam start accompanied by the sound of a bag piper. The cobbles up to the pike were hard going, the rain was also more intense at the top due to the exposure. I was please that I'd worn a base layer. There were some fast descents on the way down which are the most enjoyable part of the race.

We all went the pub afterwards, the race blogger Olga recognised some of our famous fell runners and did some interviews which can be found on YouTube.
