Whernside 26/9/09

Just like last year, the weather was really good. Pete was there to defend his championship position and Kevin was there to challenge him! Adrian was the dark horse and I wasn't really sure why I was there. Kev lead all the way with Pete close behind. I never expected to do very well and trotted around the first half until I saw Adrian ahead; my heart sank as I instantly tried to catch him. By Great Coumbe I has ahead and managed to pull out a lead. Through the fields towards the finish, Adrian made the classic schoolboy error of passing me too soon. I dug deep and managed to hold him off and finished about 5 seconds ahead of him.
