Belated blog for the Blencathra race.

The below is part of a report that hopefully will be in the Keswick Reminder next week:
"The fine conditions led to some excellent times and no more so than for the race winner Ricky Lightfoot who put in a quite superb run to break the record and finish in a time of 58:39. Lightfoot was the only runner to break an hour. Second place and first MV40 went to Borrowdale’s Jim Davies with James Bulman of North York Moors finishing third.
The first lady was Heather Dawe of Ilkley (1:22:35) followed by Julie Carter (Cumberland Fell Runners) who was first LV40 and third placed Kenny Cornforth of Borrowdale.
Coming only a matter of weeks after a marathon in Germany, Keswick’s Mark Denham-Smith still had enough quality to finish first Keswick runner (13th overall); with little fell-training this was an excellent performance for the former Club Captain.
There was some keen competition between Ian Davies (24th) and new Club runner Dave Prosser (25th) with only nine seconds between them. There was further close racing between Pez Bullen (31st) and Adam Jackson (34th). Daniel Barton was 43rd and John Beetham, despite suffering sleep deprivation due to recent fatherhood, was able to finish in 52nd.
Other Keswick runners taking part included John Nicholl (58th), John Horne 86th, Patrick Gilchrist (102nd) who was also the first MV60, Peter Eagan (116th) and Allan Buckley (122nd)."
