    Means I will have to run it now! All I need to do is stop walking with a limp and then some training may be in order.

    Substitions now open until 14th April.

    Also, does anyone know if there is any evening entertainment? I am sure I heard there was but can now find no reference. I know there is a hog roast in early evening/late afternoon but I want to know about booze??

    I wish I could just think of the booze! Had a terrible day and don't think I can get to Ribblehead in the time given. Was ten mins slower than the cut off but every second counts! I am a fell 'donkey'!!! But I just love the Three Peaks. Wish I could go faster!
    I'm sure you lot will provide great evening entertainment!!!

    Re: Three Peaks 2008

    This route card is a brilliant idea, showing cummulative splits for various possible finishing times. For instance to aim for a 4 hour finish (I wish) I need to hit these splits:

    PyG summit - 42 mins - easy
    Ribblehead - 1:53 - doable
    Whernside summit - 2:21 <cough>
    Chapel le Dale - 2:46 - doable so long as I don't have uber cramp
    Ingleborough summit - 3:15 <cough>
    Finish - 4:00 - doable with legs still in working order

    Sub 4 was gonna be my goal for it. Was quite confident of it as well.

    My only goal now is to find out where the booze will be???

    Oh and to hopefully be able to run round.

    Didn't see the splits card, I just went and looked at previous runners splits in the results.

    Stolly,
    Isn't the time for PyG on that route card 37 minutes for a 4-hour schedule?

    [Mind you, last year I was at PyG in 42 minutes and finished in 4 hours... Well 4 hours and 6 seconds anyway But then I did gain more than 150 places from PyG to the end so I think I was probably taking it a little too easy at the start! ]

    People keep telling me its all about putting in the hard work, so i put it in, got to the top of Pen-y-Ghent in 35mins (walkers route) and round all three in 5 hours 10 mins on saturday. Sorry MG but i don't think there is a short cut to fitness and speed, if i find one though i'll sell it you for a pint of Guinness Gonna have to enter the race next year
    Hills and Guinness!

    Beer and pies. Thats the secret.

    Myself, I'd like to be like someone who's 7 seconds quicker.

    Re: Three Peaks 2008

    Well Bill, you have given me the answer...thats whats wrong...
    I don't drink beer
    I don't eat pies!!!
    If I can be 7 minutes quicker then I will make it!!
    Some people have described people like me as...dross!...
    I think a champion is a champion for trying
