Lily-Livered… Lily does the U11s Liver Hill fell race
A very proud pushy dad here… Lily did her first running race this evening at Marl Pitts – the junior event in the Liver Hill fell race. She was so excited – so was I. The course for juniors was (I’m guessing..) about a mile and a quarter – out-and-back – and pretty much uphill all the way out. A couple of fairly harder pushes and one pretty steep bit for twenty yards or so… it was a bit of a killer. She pushed herself all way and I was amazed at her capacity to dig in… so, so proud. There was a really large field of c.65 runner – under 11s – and I think she was 41st from 65 starters and 59 finishers.
Was stunned. A few pics here or below – before the camera ran out of batteries (d’oh).
Blimey Lils fantastic. it took me about 23 years to get around to doing my first fell race! You are well ahead of the game here!
Well done lily. We are glad you did your stretches before. x
