Race report by Checkers:
Edenfield today. Always a must do when it falls on my birthday. This a good little fell race not very far from home.just north of Bury. Weather a bit blustery with a threat if a shower, a tad cooler. Starts and finishes at the cricket ground. Started near the front so spent the uphill part going backwards. Even though I was feeling good no aches from yesterday. I had good energy running well going past Waughs Well then up Whittle Hill. Now the best bit the brilliant looong descent. I can really run this😄 passing several runners and nearly catching others before the gruelling sting in the tail straight up 200ft scrambling up on all fours. My legs were aching now😮. However I didn’t tire and was soon away chasing the runners Infront. The trouble was they went faster too. Had a scare coming into the finish. Some one shouted a name out. So I pegged it round the cricket pitch uphill😮 I wasn’t going to lose a place now. Need not have worried. No body there😄. I think I was faster than last year😄
