Pike Race PW

Don't know whether it's because I'm unfit, or the sciatica, yesterday's long drive home or a combination but today's Pike Race was not only the first time I've taken over 30 minutes but was over 3 minutes slower than last year and a PW by over 2 minutes. Maybe I was lacking the competition from EYJ and Mary but IceMan Kev and Ed were there.
I may see about getting a quick entry for Barbondale Round - thought it was next week but is in fact the 21st. Anybody else interested? I know it clashes with Anniversary Waltz etc.
