My time down Kirkstone Downhill is 6:16 - yup! For 5W - ha ha ha.
Check out the segment “Caudale Beck to Glenridding Sailing Club”

That’s from the end of the bad Kirkstone Pass descent, to the sailing club entrance
I think 2018 was one of those days, I was struggling so just jogged round, then got blisters which made things worse.
Will Clarke and Sam Laidlow have commented to say they’re entering, RCB looks interested.
Yeah, saw that - not seen them on the list.
I wonder if @stenard ‘s mate Joe Spraggins is up for it, he commented, too…
…also, @r0bh (and @Adam for your recce) my legs are even worse today, can barely walk 
Just recce it slowly. Surely it’s just about learning the lines in a run like that.
I bloody did!!! 
That made me giggle. 
You’ll be reet!
All this chat, similar to the early season showdown at Cotswold (I think) is giving me the fomo.
I’ve enjoyed just exercising as and when I like, but I think that competitive fire in me is starting to burn and make itself known again. Think I’m going to need some sort of outlet in the next few months.
Me too. I’m not racing this but I’m on a recruitment drive for the sprint i’m doing!! So far @Memphisraines is in and I’ve got @Mungo2 hovering over the button.
Sounds like an absolutely epic year for Helvellyn though. I was tempted to head up and watch but a day away from the family to watch strangers flog themselves isn’t getting signed off by th’wife, and I can’t get the twins up that early to get there.
It’s always worst the 2nd day 
£65…!
For a sprint… I can swim bike and run forever this year… with zero speed …
At least it’s flat… I think !
Trying to get two others to sign up with me…
Should have done helvellyn… not
Scrwb!
Not planning on doing my recces on the same day though!!
Will probably walk most of the run
I always start at the bottom and work upwards, it’s much quicker for me that way 
On recce and race day 
Are you thinking of the 2019 one?
In my first 70.3 for 8 years, where I wiped the floor with @Jorgan? 
Apart from the first and last km
last 2-3km really, all fine after the zig-zags (bar a little bit from the mine to the YHA)
Also 1-2km around Red Tarn.
And 1km off the summit
Yes of course - last year?! Man, i have no concept of time right now!
I actually read the whole of the Ironwar thread yesterday!
