My first time out at the Hobble. I'd like to add my thanks to all the organisers and marshalls for putting the whole thing together and for being so resolutely cheerful at each and every checkpoint. I was pleased with getting round in 6.56 (having been ill for the preceding week with the dreaded stomach bug that seems to have been doing the rounds.) Already having thoughts of next year's event. If I just train harder, get fitter, don't get a stomach bug, etc. I might just break 6.55! :thumbup: Particular thanks to Becka from Tod for chatting to me and runnning with me through the Heptonstall sections - we'll find the right way up from the Horse Bridge Becka that doesn't take us to Pecket Well next year! Also 'hello' to the Assistant Pastor from Haworth Church who kept me company up the hill to the Top O' Stairs. Now to get myself ready for the Heptonstall Fell Race on Sunday. Surely my legs will be ready for it by then

You must be the kind man who took pity on me and offered me one of your gels! Thanks for that! I must have looked a state! I tripped at the beginning on the Bronte track grazing my hand and knocking my big toe and knee. Got home to find a rather swollen knee and hammer head toe! I told Brett after the race to never accept an entry from me again! I'm sure I will do it again when the memory of it fades.

Becca was my partner and she certainly put me through it.......all I saw of her was her back end or her face turning around swearing at me to get a move on! She is training hard at the moment though......that's my excuse anyway.

Thanks to the marshalls and halpers at the school!

Very well done Sunnysideup, you did great considering you've never run that distance before. Can't have been easy chasing a mad crazy woman for that length of time!
