3rd February
Pendle Way in a Day
About 44 miles, with 6,000ft ascent.

4th Lawrence Eccles 07:46:40

The weather looked appalling on the long range forecast, but as the day looked the forecast suddenly improved. It went from rain and 50mph winds to cloudy with 20-30mph winds. The positive spin on the bad weather would be the course getting shortened. After 40 miles they say if the weather is bad they'll miss out Pendle hill. Sadly every time I reach that spot there's nobody telling me Pendle hill is out. In fact the sun came out yesterday as I reached the trig point. I had been plagued by calf cramps from halfway but miraculously they disappeared for the descent to Barley.

There was free food and beer at the finish. The race seems popular, like Parbold hill, although it's only been going a few years. There is a summer version; although that will probably get terrible weather now. The fields were very waterlogged yesterday, but overall condition were good.

John Hunt Merseyside fell running manager claimed this was the muddiest in his 30 years of running it so the times were a bit slower than in previous years. The rain just about held off until after the race. All runners get a buff a mars and water at the end. There is also a spray from a truck to have a little wash down, it was much needed this year, unlike later year. We went the pub afterwards a Lawrence, Lenka and Hayley got prizes for their category finish positions.

Sheeptracks
17.5 miles and 5,000ft plus ascent

2nd Lawrence Eccles 02:58:30

The weather gods were on my side as thick mist descended on the hills above Llangollen, near the horseshoe pass, before the race. I knew the route well so was pleased with the chilly pea soup conditions. The organiser played a trick on us all however! He set-up the start at the beginning of the wrong path for the race. He probably laughed a fair bit as we all ran off on the sound of the didgeridoo. When the path pulled left and levelled I got suspicious and me and the leader corrected. He, Joel Gomes, quickly retook the lead. I never saw him again (in the race).

Joel's race became somewhat legendary throughout the field as people came into the finish telling of sightings of Joel; often heading in the wrong direction. Soon after CP1 he had managed to double back on himself and get thoroughly confused. To his credit he finished over an hour behind the winner and got a wooden spoon for doing the most extra distance at 9km.

Sheeptracks is kind of a navigation event. The route is released a few months in advance. I had practiced sections and new it sufficiently well come race day that I never used my map or a compass. Post race there was food and drinks, at a price, in the warmth of the Ponderosa café. I also ate a few creme eggs compliments of the PLS Friday night quiz. Next year's race is rumoured to be on the infrequently visited moors near Denbigh.
