A chunk is, and that must be one of the hardest miles I've ever ran, full on jelly legs as I hit the tarmac. Cracking race.

Enough?

They put a questionaire out at last years race asking for runners views on changes to the start and possible alterations to the route to avoid erosion etc (I sugested I'd rather start from the golf course than the town) - I haven't heard or seen anything to suggest any changes have been taken up but (for example) there was an idea to avoid the grassy bank by coming to halfway lochan on the descent. Anyone heard anything?

What was that about Mapper?:D

2009 is my Grisedale year ~ I alternate it with the Ben.

Hope you all enjoy the 'extended' Ben this year running from the town and back :eek::eek:

Oh, and no crossing the zigzags either this year :eek:

Can someone tell me what the categories are please? I'm listed as DE.

They mean age group, if your a race virgin, if you're a race local, if you're a woman etc etc.

I think DE means you are a vet and it's your first run.
