Catching Up with a Waltz

It's been a bit of an up and down time (excuse the pun) since my last post. I've had real trouble with a couple of teeth and they're only just getting fixed now. Plus it's been full on at work and I've had a really bad cold so all in all my fitness is shot to pieces and it's going to be some painful rebuilding starting this weekend.
But in retrospect here's a round up of the last few outings.....

Whaley Waltz. Always brilliant fun and a carnival atmosphere to boot. A great turnout from GVS and with the water splash at the end there's something for everyone. It was a good run again this year, 176 entries and pretty good underfoot. The climb up to Windgather was a real sod as usual but I mainly held it together just running out of steam a bit on the final section. Swooping down from the summit and across the ridge is always great and I even managed to pull a few places back this year. On the fginal run in I was just being pipped by Julian who too a slightly wrong turn (blaming the marshal!) so I got the jump on him at the river and finished in a respectable time of 47mins 26secs. Check this out.... 

Need I say more!!
