One of the first evening fell races of the season, at Loughrigg, took place last night. The most perfect day graded into a lovely, still, warm night, so conditions couldn't have been better. More of my fellow club members were there this time, which gave it a different flavour. In spectacularly stupid fashion, I managed to fall over on the uphill, after about half a mile of running. This didn't bother me until after the race when one grazed knee swelled up like an orange. Still, an excellent race, with 1000 foot of climbing (which makes it a baby in the fell racing world) and a really great, rolling descent where you can pick up speed without too much effort...
