East Cheshire4. Dark PeakTHREE TOWERS RACE : 14.10.84A strange race this, not so much Fell as 1ong cross country. Itwas interesting to see just how bad road runners are on hills, not somuch going up but coming down, oh' -for a descent lile the Blisco!Unfortunately the long fast flatter sections on roads and tracksshowed just how bad 1 was at that sort of running as they all camestreaming past again!Equiries at the start revealed that participants claimed to beeither Road Runners using it as an endurance builder or Fell Runnersusing an 'easy race' as speed training. No doubt the road runners wereattracted by the awarding of Medals to the first 300 finishers (out of297) but personally I regard this as a retrograde step in Fell runningand much preferred the old system of the first 50 getting the coveted3 Towers T-shirts, that really was something to aspire to 1In the event it was the Fell runners that well and trulytriumphed, with 15 out of the first 20 being well known Fell Runners,including the first three Wild, Cartridge and Owen. Malcolm P. ranwell to finish 7th (one place in front of Hugh Symonds), Bob Toogoodin an excellent 37th place was still only 4th Vet!The real battles for Dark Peak placings were fought out furtherdown the field and the fight for third club member home was variouslyled by Fete Lewis, Adrian Riley, myself and the improved PeteGriffies. Pete G. led for a long time but as we died, Fete L. strodepast and was not seen again, eventually finishing three mins and 28places in front of Adrian Riley and myself. Poor Fete G. hit a badpatch near the finish and dropped 4mins in the last two or threemiles, to be passed by Pete Collingwood and almost caught by MartinStone who had done the Langdale the day before and was obviously oncourse with his Karrimor training.I was horrified to see that my Karrimor partner had finished39th, some 43 places in front of me. Some deft tampering of thecontents of his sac may be necessary on the day!!Incidently as a pointer to karrimor 'form' the race was aninteresting one; with last years winners Pete Irwin and DerekRatcliffe 12th and 16th and not-so-dark-horses Malcolm Patterson andKen Taylor 7th and 21st, the score was 2B all ! Very interesting! !AlEvans15

With little more than half an hour to go, therewas hardly any sign of pre-race activity. The 12 or so who made it toLlandeusant enquired of each other which one of us was supposed to bein charge.
