Good man. Can't have been many of us attempting the long course (as a run) though. And I recall there was talk afterwards of perhaps making the long route a race next time???Quote:

No probs Ian, we knew that it was an event not a race.Quote:

1: Jodg 3:12
2: Rodders 4:47
No worries Ian but thanks for trying. I think me and Socks were somewhere around 4:35.
I had to work hard over the last couple of sections to break 5 hrs and clock 4:59
Sorry Rodders, Datt claims 4h 28m according to his timepiece! He reckoned he came 6th...Quote:

In 3rd place was a guy wearing a Chilterns 100 T-shirt. I spoke to him after he'd finished but didn't get his name. He came in just a few minutes behind SteveS.Quote:

Very fast time Jodg, you must have been flying over those bogs! I think all races should put their results together this way, it's much more exciting!
Ta Linda! :D Bit like bingo what with all these numbers flying around, innit? ;)Quote:

I re-ran first half (start to Woodhead Rd checkpoint) yesterday in 86 mins. Wondering how this compares with race day times. Ta.
I reached the Woodhead checkpoint in 85 mins and a bit and finished in 2hrs 38 and a bit.Quote:

Do you know what Mog stands for....?;)Quote:

Saturday 1st October will see the 16 mile race and 16 mile or 23 mile walk staged in the North Eastern Peak District all organised by and in aid of Woodhead Mountain Rescue Team. 4.5 mile Family walk option to get the kids started.
Details can be found at www.woodheadmrt.org
Come and have a day out and support Mountain Rescue whilst you do it.
John Howe gave me some entry-forms & posters yesterday, when he called in to 'deliver' to where I work.
I told him I'll consult 'management' (SWMBO) about it.... then look at the work rostering, & see if I can get there this year (possibly, with a club-mate)
I will be supporting this, I aim to have a go at running the 23 mile course.
I didn't realise it was for MRT, so that's even better!
If there's any other slow newbies out there that fancy a chug around with me (somewhere near the back), I'd welcome the company!
I intend to be there, done it the last two years and it's always fun, always good food at the end and for a great cause :)
I'll be there, not sure if I'm guarding the bog monster or running sweep.
info and comments on last years G"n"B it http://forum.fellrunner.org.uk/showt...ight=grin+bear
I'll be having a trot around the long course. Look forward to seeing you Joester.
Is it too early to call shotgun? :pQuote:

Hopefully you will bring along some other Penistone runners. Sorry if we surprised you in the car ealier this week.Quote:

superb race and lots of food and Ale available at the end.....
Get the entries in now and support the MRT
yes, hopefully more penistone runners will be running it....i'll be an EOD, and quite a few from Handsworth will be running it as its one of their championship races
Thanks for that, I'll let them know.Quote:

I'll be there. Nice training bridge between a 15 Trigs attempt the week before with Glen and the Round Rotherham couple of weeks later. And I was rather disappointed not to run it last year, can't remember what I was running instead but I do remember feeling I'd missed out!
Spotted this on Grough.. http://www.grough.co.uk/magazine/201...ils-to-impress
I'm tempted by the 16 miler if I can get the miles up again this next month or so.
Seen the rota, & I'm on a 'late-turn', so it's a no go for me!Quote:
