Very possibly. But another argument I've heard is that maybe racing lesseans that athletes are able to perform better when they do. I'd really hope that Laura Weightman isn't doping and that her run was the result of a substantial training block and a good race.
Did my first BGR recce this morning - two Nav errors one in the mist and the other taking slightly the wrong route off Blencathra. Will definitely need to do it again before the big day. Decent morning out with some good views until the cloud base at 650m.
Do you know when you're planning an attempt? I must admit I don't see the appeal of recce'ing it for years and years. There are people in my club who have been planning their round for what seems like a decade! Horses for courses I guess.
