Many, many, many months later!
I have closed the other thread here.
The race reports have been read.
Fred Whitton has been completed (not by me, just by club mates yesterday)
Scafell has been scaled (well, 20+ years ago as part of the national Three Peaks, but hey!)
And I can swim in cold(ish) water, Helvellyn anyone?
Struggle was a piece of the proverbial, recce’d it twice and did it in the rain last year.
Nothing to worry about there.
The descent, however, was horrific.
Aira Force was also nothing to worry about.
However, doing the Struggle six-eight times, then locomoting 27 odd miles on foot afterwards?
Different story.
This is looking like a go-er for 2022, only problem is it’s Staffs 70.3 the following weekend
And the 113 the following day
Hmm…TT smackdown, followed by some suffering at Stafford, or, a full day out in the Lakes???
