Three Peaks Fell Race

[clodhopper]

Another 20 yards and I would have got you Good run AR. I was bang on schedule for a 4:30 finish at the top of Ingleborough but decided to take a header just before the first ladder stile on the run off. Cut knee and hip and winded me for a minute.
Great day out and thanks to all those supporting and marshalling. To Milli and Hot Dog for encouragement on the last climb. Also nice to see ChesterBlue - aren't you glad you got that qualifying race in

I think I saw you do that. I asked if you were ok and you told me to carry on. Looked spectacular from behind

Fantastic experience, such an honour to take part in a brilliant event. Finished in 4hr 40min, absolutley knackered, legs feeling battered, but what a sence of achievement. Well worth all the pain and agony. Anyone know how do I obtain any photo's from yesterdays race? There was a few proffesional photographers around.

I also had the dreaded inner-thigh cramp going up Ingleborough. Bl**dy painfull and very difficult to stretch out. Most of the muscle strain is on quads/calfs, so why do the inner thighs cramp. Any experts out there who can help ?

DB you need to eat more crackers and cheese. Wallace didn't have any bother with cramp yesterday. Come to think of it, it will probably help your breath problem too.

I was so much slower I didn't dare start it. So I give hearty congratulations to alll of you. I was lurking just before Ribblehead cheering you all on. Mr Just-a-lurker! was a bit disappointed to get cramp on Ingleborough. However, he's now decided it's a muscle strain (fair assumption since you don't end up icing cramp a day later) and that he had a good run after all.

Yes I spotted you lurking twice. Once right at the start just over the bridge and then again just before ribblehead. Thanks for the support. I was doing quite well then!!

I think you've hit the neil on the head there. Most likely muscle strain.
