I thought I’d comfortably won it, been in front from the start, sweating hard in my christmas pudding jumper. Crossed the line and then waited for 8 minutes before anyone turned up 🧐… When Tom came through in 2nd place and was so surprised to see me, it transpires that I had completely missed the trig at c. 5 miles in- so had missed a c. 1 mile section. 
The perils of being a front runner on an unmarked section. No wonder everyone was flabbergasted at my time - which would have been the course record!! 
At that very moment while talking to Tom I also realised I lost my car key out of my shorts. After some searching around for 30 mins. A runner handed it in. He’s seen it on the downhill section in the grass 2 miles in - legend!! 

Eventful day out in the Peaks . Lessons learnt: 
1, inspect the map a bit more, especially if there is a chance you are at the front
2, don’t run in Xmas jumpers on the mildest day of the winter so far. Cursed my decision as soon as I was out of the wind. 
3, double check you’ve zipped your keys away properly 🙄. Got lucky today
4, Linton Xmas cracker is a great race, it was well organised and I’d 100% do it again. Race organiser Nigel is a top bloke. 
I will be back.

Disqualified at Litton Xmas Cracker fell race - and I thought I’d won my first race dressed as Xmas pudding.
