Intrigued?

Recently I've been thinking more about the coming year and what races I might pull on fell shoes and my Glossopdale Harriers vest.  I really enjoyed running the Peak 'O' Trial and the Kinder Trial - even though the latter was exhausting I did have fun. So here are some of the contenders for my 2012 racing:

Date	Race	Distance	Ascent
18 March	Dark & White Mini Mountain Marathon Series (1/3)	3hr orienteering event	variable
15 April	Dark & White Mini Mountain Marathon Series (2/3)	3hr orienteering event	variable
18 April	Herod Farm	4.8km	335m
22 April	Kinder Downfall	15.5km	600m
27 April	Chunal	4.8km	305m
8 May	Burbage Skyline	9.3km	366m
13 May	Dark & White Mini Mountain Marathon Series (3/3)	3hr orienteering event	variable
3 June	Wormstones	6.4km	411m

I'd really like to do the D&W series but will take a view on entering all of them after the first one - who knows, I might not like them. I am however intrigued to give another longer race a go to see how I can push myself. I'm not really one for big organised events, preferring the low-key local feeling. But who knows until you try one eh!?

I've not looked at the race calendar in detail beyond early June...I'll review how I'm feeling after a few months. There's a few other races I do need to consider if I want to take part in the Glossopdale Harriers fell championship (Charlesworth Carnival, Coomes Tor, Lantern Pike, Famous Grouse, Round the Ressers to start with, oh, and Stockport 10 (that's miles not km) and a ParkRun).
