Report by John Boothman
A rather damp day at Ingleton today and it was very cloudy and windy at the trig. I have done this race quite a few times since I started running and I do like it. A hard slog to the trig followed by an initial technical descent leading to a fast path and track. The race was won by Joe Baxter of Pudsey & Bramley in 49.16. Nick Trietl and Dan Mills both had good runs finishing 4th & 5th.
Andy Berry was 20th. Lucas Payne didn't choose the best line down from the trig, costing him some time & he finished 24th.
I had a reasonable run to come in 37th in 65.15 just loosing a place a metre from the line after a lapse of concentration!
Paul Elcock was 40th in 67.13 which was nearly 5 mins faster than last year - improving every race. Laura Craig was 5th lady.
