When you both passed me at the very bottom of Wernside you were together.

I thought you knew each other?

No - but i made up for it afterwards...:p

I recognised Daz from his picture on the forum and I remembered him from Edale where we were also together for a while.

Hi Tussockface and anyone else who's tried in vain to view my pics. I do apologise. Snapfish is rubbish. I'm kicking it into touch. I've just opened a Flickr account this evening and I'm uploading there. Try this instead:

2008 3 Peaks Checklist for Chris.

Build up races correct? Not really but he put the training in.
Adequate Hydration? I doubt it.
Pre-race massage? Depends on how you define it. ;)
Pre-race carbo loading? Two slices of toast.
Pre-race alcohol abstinence? As if. Bottle and a half of red wine the night before.
Pre-race taper in the two weeks before? As if. The guy would go mad if he didn't run every day.
Plenty of food/drinks consumed on the day? Two gels and some water.

Improvement on last year? First time he's done it.

Enter the 2009 Three Peaks to attempt to break this year's 3:20? He can live in hope but he thoroughly enjoyed this race and will be definitely be back next year.

By the way Crowhill, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I bet Anna Pichrtova didn't drink a bottle and a half of wine the night before.

And if not it is probably part of the reason she is better than most of us are!
