7 or 8miles later might be a big ask; I'm cream-crackered after ironing a few shirts for work :oQuote:

There are hot dogs at the Haworth Hobble at around 14mile. No onions is my tip ;):D
Been thinking about the HH, deffo need to slow down to get round that for sure!!Quote:

I don't have your pace but do a lot of long challenge events etc and tend to be able to pace myself now. Hobble is interesting as best running is in first 20miles or so and a 'blast off, then hang on' strategy isn't a bad one. You should enter as its a real grand day out overseen by the main-man Brett! My first was only the second fell race I'd done and I wouldn't miss it for anything :cool:Quote:

Going to have a run up Beamsley Beacon and Round Hill later. See if I can find some more tussocks! :cool::eek::DQuote:

Sorry to hear Emmi! Thats contrary to myself though, my feet ached a bit during the race, as they were getting bent and moved quite a bit on the rough stuff, but that eased throughout the race, and today they feel fine :eek:Quote:

Yes, I was going to ask you how your's were as knew you wore them too yesterday. Found them great on the race and was chatting to a guy that nearly wore his but decided not to because of the distance. They were brilliant on the rocks and all the rough stuff and I do like the fact my feet feel 'free' but they are sadly suffering a bit from the lack of support - at least I think that's why they are sore....nothing to do with an 87 mile week!!! :oQuote:

I am heavy on tread and thought I might have worn them down on the bits of road which are always further than I remember, but there appears little wear.
Wouldn't have wanted to run along the boundary wall in anything else. Think we were lucky most of the bog along there was frozen apart from the top inch of thaw..
Don't feel too bad at all today, in fact felt stiffer after the Pennine BR which was a much steadier run for me. As detailed under the AS moniker felt strong most of way round apart from the last hill after I caught the leading lady group (again) but then just faded after all the rushing to try to make up time cos of getting lost and couldn't get past them (again). I would be interested to see where the groups behind me at Cock hill but in front of me at the end finished.
I will be off for a 7/8 mile off road run today or possibly a cross bike ride.
wow-where do I start?
Big thanks to the organisers, what a superb day and the smiliest ,chattiest, most encouraging marshalls ever! Manhar, your tights and shoes combo was classic and made me smile when I was nervous at the start!
Huge thanks to the angel who helped me round-Chris, you were so kind and I learnt so much, even if I couldn't keep up with you at the end! I think I had my first ever bonk! I was knackered after CP 13, staggering all over and just wanted to lie down in the tussocks!
Flagging at end of route? -I am all for it. I don't think I would have finished without it. By this stage, extreme fatigue and no one around, it was a god send as I kept saying, "just do one more bit then you can lie down"!! So please keep it-it would be disheartening at such a late stage in the race to go off course?
UKHursty-bloody hell mate! You beauty! I knew you were going for it but that was a supreme effort. Well done! Such a shame you can't do the 3PPP's-you'd have a mega time in that one!
A fantastic day, at the moment I am thinking "never again"!! (which probably means see you all again next year!!)
That might have been me in the new 330's. Bambi on Ice down the flags.Quote:

Mounsey.
In answer to your question "NOTHING LEFT". I was knackered.
Thanks to Mrs S and CV for organising.
Stagger,
Am I edging away from being a "knobber"???????:eek:
Well done all......Great Race.
Glad you enjoyed the clag! Mine's a pint. :cool:Quote:

I've sent the results to Brett so they should be on here soon.
Very well organised event and to be able to train a bull to chase us near the finish is just amazing:).Quote:

The last hill is fantastic, all races sould finish like that.
I ran my arse off and Captain Stagger asked me where id been . Great :D
Very cold, very claggy, what more could you want.
Some photos from Eileen on http://woodentops.org.uk
Good to see everyone had a memorable day yesterday - very well done in getting round.
Key moments - being told to "Sod of" by Anti Social - I think he was trying to live up to his name - but I get the impression he's just a big Softie really :)
Shaun and Rachel-must admit did laugh out loud at myself when I read your 1st paragraph - I know, I know I really ought to buy a pair of trail / walking shoes.
Tea & Cakes delicious cake and the wonderful soup put on by the cricket club ladies.
Thank you to Mr & Mrs Stagger for putting on the race (hope you both had a well earned glass of wine / beer when it was all over) and the generous praise from all quarters for my small part - always a pleasure to help.
The link to the full results is up on the CVFR web site....................but it takes you to the half results. :confused:
Sorry about that a technical glitch, we hope to have full results and splits up soon, in the meantime will this do:?Quote:

Cheers for posting the results!
I've been demoted from my print-out result 3 places lol :)
Can't believe the total number, I thought it was full at 200! :p
Cheers Rachel, you had a stonker too!! Top running :)
Just seen other thread so please ignore.
Cheers - Raymond
The 200 was for both races although you are right to point out we had quite a few no show's who did not even contact the Entry Sec.Quote:

Well done all who turned up and enjoyed the event, Mrs Stagger did an awesome job.
We are considering running it as 2 seperate races on different weeks in future to try to accommodate more on the Full Trog.
Ah right ;)Quote:

If i had stayed with the Clayton lads looking at the results I could have been between 14th and 17th. Ce La vie.
However is it me or were the times slower this year overall. I felt stronger than I have for ages but even if I had finished with Clayton I would have been slower than my best to date which was 3.35 after bonking badly and i was much lower down the field then.
The computer that was running the splits was synchronised to the start, so all times should be bang on, even if you only punched the finish box. A few of you missed a couple of checkpoints, so I had to manually give you a split, some of which are bizarre, the final time is accurate.Quote:

Just to echo all, a huge thank you to organisers and marshals. Spot on.
An extra cheers to Manhar who checked that i was okay as i deliriously ignored him when crossing the road... I'd moved beyond niceties by then and had slumped into sulking miserable mode! I'm not sure my ankle's ever pointed in so many directions in one day before...
Still, survived it in 4.34ish which isn't so bad for my first L fell race. I did die terribly in the second half and kept getting passed... although it made me chuckle to see the same people passing who'd overtaken an hour before! I'd have done the same had some kind soul not pointed out that you shouldn't see walls in the middle of a moor and then diving off to the right.
Still, it makes road marathons seem like pish... I'll be back!
Not seen too many photos, I saw plenty of people taking them though!
Anyone spotted anymore anywhere?
