Tim Chadwick and David Poole took the seemingly never ending journey to Wasdale Head to take on this race, which enabled both to tick off the three big ones in a year. At five miles, this is the shortest race, compared to Snowden and The Ben.
A Friday night on the Moretti the night before worked wonders - carb loading done right with Tim knocking around two mins off last year's time and finishing 19th David crossed the line in 6th place.
David was in with a chance for the King of the Mountains, but sadly, it was not to be as the last minute arrival of John Yells all but dashed the hopes of taking home the impressive trophy. However, in the end, it was still an impressive 2nd place in the King of the Mountains challenge for him.
The official results are not out yet, but the approximate finish times are:
6 David Poole 1:01:20
19 Tim Chadwick 1:06:08
