Well done regardless, it was great to follow although work & life interrupted dotwatching more than I'd have liked.
Andy Cole took the Lantern Rouge (and 5th Andy) I think?
What's next for you?

Yes and 1st MV70 at the same time! I think he walked all of it. He's incredibly knowledgeable about the areas we passed through and all the races that go on in the hills.

I have a place for EfM this year, as last year's event got postponed. But really don't know what the recovery will be like from this. Might take a while to feel back to full strength so may defer that one.
I'd definitely like to do King Offa's Dyke Race (did the first 100 miles of it in 2019), and maybe a summer Spine in 2022.
I also had an idea that qualifying for Western States would be a good target to get myself into the ballot but there aren't many qualifying races in the UK and they sell out fast so maybe more of a long term project.

Just had nothing in the tank today. Couldn't get temp under control despite drinking loads, probably from overdoing it yesterday and accumulated fatigue. Slogged it out for 26 miles and something suddenly clicked and I found a rhythm and ran the last 4 miles to the finish. Passed a couple of people from the earlier starts and found my way through Chester to the finish. 2nd on the stage and 2nd overall.
Other Andy (#8) got a very well deserved overall win. TBH I could tell from day 1 he was stronger, and has more mountain running experience so I was pleased to stick with him for as long as I did.
