Anglezarke Amble
24.8 miles with 3,645ft ascent
1st Lawrence Eccles 03:45
This event is put on by the local Long Distance Walkers Association (LDWA) group of West Lancashire. The route is pre described and they also provide a gpx file, but there are no course markings on route. It is intended as a challenge walk really although I wasn't the only runner!
I did end up on my own after 100m on the climb of Rivington Pike. I used the race environment, with three check points, to practice nutrition. I opted for gels. I felt controlled to 19 miles, but then was caught by another runner. I was able to respond and by the end I did open the gap to nearly 10 minutes, so the nutrition strategy worked in one way, however I had no appetite to eat anything at the finish. I used my mandatory mug to just have a cup of tea, then went home leaving all the food laid out for others.

Sheeptracks
Roughly 17 miles, give or take based on route choice. There were 15 mandatory check points this year with a free route choice between them.
2nd Lawrence Eccles 02:42:21
Michael O'Rourke 03:37:51
I thought I had a good chance of winning this year, but somewhat overestimated my ability to run without nutrition and bonked badly before the end. I recovered sufficiently to hold second 🥈 place, but need to work on my fitness before my next long race. Michael managed to hold off The Beast of Bowland (Simone Capponi who ran for Penny Lane for many years; and was once even Off Road Champion). Potato and soup post race helped with the recovery post race. Coca cola also helped me, at a price, from the community shop. It was also strangely good weather, albeit very muddy in places. Maybe spring 🌱 has arrived early this year!?
