Many thanks to everyone who turned out today and made it a great event. 3 seconds in the final race isn't a bad way to decide the Championship.
I am just going to have a cup of coffee now and I will try to post a provisional set of results, including FRA categories before long.
When I left the hut, the mountain rescue had reached Barbara and she was being taken off to Hospital with what sounded like a broken wrist. Thanks to Alexis to stopping with her to start with and Des after that. I am sure her progress will be posted here.
Just a couple of housekeeping things, I have a magic mountain jacket and a fleece type top that were left at the finish. Also I have a set of car keys for a fiat that were found on Hope St. If any of that sounds familiar drop me a PM and I will sort something out.
Roll on next year.
Thanks Gordon and all the marshalls for putting on such a great race!
I'll "Second" that. well done Gordon
Still a great race even if my performance left alot to be desired, Apolagise to Alan for nearly knocking him over:o next time he'll just after run faster....
Julian M GMRT grabbed me as I crossed the line and we headed back up to help out.
Barbara was well looked after with 4 hunky blokes in the clan tent with her, her husband would like to have a word with one of them "Werdna Swilnik" I believe who kept her warm!;) Big thank you there I think. 3 walkers also helped out.
She was carried off by the combined efforts of Glossop and Woodhead MRT. Then taken to Hospital.
I'll post on here when I hear how she is.
Thanks again to all the marshals, Hope yau all enjoyed the Ale
Gordon I hope you saved one for your self....?
Here's some pics from today's race:http://www.flickr.com/photos/3916943...7624760821925/
Help yourself. If you want any better quality larger pics pm me and I'll email you one through. If I've missed you off let me know your number and club I've got loads of pics and this is just a selection.
Looked like a cracking race I wish I'd ran it now!!
Dan.
Those photos are a bit crummy. Don't give up the day job!
Haha. Only kidding. It was good to see you. :)
What a fantastic finish to the Championship series. Obviously I'm gutted for Lloyd, as he's a really good mate, and he was just ahead of Rob as they came past me on the Lightside descent. Really pleased to see Helen on good form, too (she was also in the lead when she past me - I must be a bad omen).
My photos are up here, but they're not a patch on Fell Donkey's I'm afraid (you should have seen the size of his camera!!)
I hope Barbara's ok - well done to everyone who stopped to help her (especially Alexis who still had a chance of a medal before today's race).
