Didn’t get going while 7am so must by have been some other idiot.
8:55 was the time.
Not dead but not done myself any favours / should have listened and not done it as it was hard work. Couldn’t get a full breath of air so pushed up parts of Hardknott and Wrynose.
Heart rate was doing weird stuff, never dropped below 155 even on the downhill free wheels but also didn’t dare push it past 180 on uphills. It just seemed to stay at 165-175 no matter what I did. So I tired and ran out of fuel very quickly.
Couldn’t hold pace so kept getting dropped by any group I latched onto. Cold Fell was a lonely low and by this point realised WTF was I doing it was too late so had to finish.
So in short / should have listened / shouldn’t have done it / didn’t enjoy it / won’t do it again.
But it’s done.
