I like mid week adrenalin buzzes!
I did another short fell race, from Totley - it looked like a hilly route so thought - try this - you enjoyed the last one! So off I trotted - well it worked - I tried hard, pushed hard as I could up the hills, even though in the McDonald fell running world I always walk up the hills, I actually found myself doing a trot up the first one! Blimey - must like the competition! It felt great and I even overtook quite a few people, mind you some came back passed me on the flat on top of the hill, but then the downhill was really slippery so I flew passed loads again (well a few!) and kept most of them off my shoulders on the the next downhill and sprint to the finish - what a blast! Mind you my evening could have been improved if the photographer had decided that us lot at the back were not worth photographing, how am I supposed to get my little buzz from the boost I get from giving any photographer a big teethy smile? Then just round the corner there was another - his excuse was he was changing his memory card - am I not allowed my flashy teethy grins anymore? Oh well - have now learned to race without the grin! And I wasn't last - big bonus - took me just under an hour and I think it was about 5.5 miles (doesn't sound good now but felt like a sprint all the way!)
Bring on the next adrenalin buzz!
