Helvellyn - 6 Days to go

Less than a week to go and I decided last night to abandon my bank holiday DIY Monday plans to run a fell race instead

This made utter sense as a 'sharpner' to me, however, Rosie (the better half) was a little disapointed that the bathroom is still not finished 11 months after starting.  Technically it has a bath, shower, toilet and sink so that's good enough for me, although she differs on this view.

The race was part of the Cilcairn village show and involved a run up and down Moel Fammou.  I took it steady over the first 1k and pushed on as we started to climb.  I managed to pull away and a thanks has to be said to Ian Houston from Wrexham Tri for shouting as I was going the wrong way.    By the top I had a decent lead and could concentrate on the practising the descent.

I'm a little worried my descending sucks but it felt pretty good and I held onto the lead to return to the village in first.

The video is at the top and thanks to a nice guy called Huw.
