Three Peaks Fell Race

[Sam Harrison]

That's me entered as well - second time! On 783 entries now. Also ended up entering the Welsh 1000m Peaks race, not so sure that was a good idea...

Can't do this in 2012 as injured with plantar fasciitis but did it for 1st time last year. Its a great race with a huge sense of history and occasion behind it - I killed myself with calf cramp to get under 4 hours but it was worth it. Don't listen to the miserable buggers who come along on the forum saying its a glorified trail race - its a classic and definitely one to do before you die.

Me and Helen were queueing at the door for this one too .... so tell me, is the T-shirt worth having?? 7.50 seems a bit bloody steep (ha!)

Entered last year but missed it with the same injury as you threerock and gutted to be missing it this year for a wedding.

Good luck with the plantar fascilitis. I still get the odd problem with mine but its a lot better. Good enough to start training for Wasdale anyway.

How many entered so far?

Yup I'm in - ordered the t-shirt too! You can never have too many race t-shirts for posing in the pub - I hope that lass with the jelly cherries (no that's NOT a pun :w00t:!!) is at the top of the waterfall on Inglebugger again, she just about saved my life. They were so good I turned back & got some more! I'll remember the choccy covered mintcake again Trig!

True, and the two birds at the bottom of Whernside as well.

I'm in. First time for me. What's the received wisdom on shoes for this one? Fell shoes or will road shoes cope with the 'trailiness' of the route?

Trail shoes.............trail race:wink:
Seriously though, trail shoes would be best.
