Entered the 3 Peaks Race on Monday when entries opened and as far as I know I am in.
I was a bit concerned the organisers may not process/ allow my entry as I have not done a Fell Race previously but I was hopeful that my history of marathons (14), including 3 off road would be sufficient/ persuasive so I mentioned everything in on line entry. Now I need to get training and learn how to use a compass etc otherwise I am going to look very stupid.
(Given my comments in earlier blogs that I have struggled to find some not small places, Illogan and Four Lanes for example, I would concede that Julie is quite right to question my directional awareness.)
Anyway, the rationale remains to do a series of hard endurance events in April as preparation for Norseman. I decided early in week to abandon meeting up with Anthony for Sunday morning run in favour of 19 mile coastal run to build up stamina and practice off road. Next stage will to get kitted out for 3 Peaks Run and practice in the kit.
