The proper results are now up on CVFR website, if any one wants the results with everyne's split times send me a pm and I'll email them to you.
Wasn't questioning the equipment, just the runners are we older and slower these days or was it the weather and conditions.Quote:

I find when I train on the Midgley Moor/High Brown Knoll area, even though I know it very well, in clag I am much slower than in the "open" air so to speak. Also I noticed a significant number of entrants were over 40!!Quote:

I love the video. Made more poignant by my rubbish Talk Talk connection, which made everyone run very slowly and keep stopping. I could see myself competing in a race like that.
Any idea when entries open for this, 2011 online calender says entry by 30 jan direct to website but the form on website is 2010. Should I be using this?
We'd reckoned on opening entries for this sometime around Christmas. I don't think its good to have entries open too early - influencing people to enter very early then having a long opportunity to get an injury and have to drop out, especially over winter.Quote:

By the way, we should be able to get more people entered onto the Trog this year - the Half-Trog has been separated from the Full Trog and moved to November 12th for 2011. So the limit of 200 people that used to apply to both races combined (because of parking restrictions) can now be totally for Full Troggers.

A request has been made by the Entries Sec to inform you all that:-
:thumbup:Entries are now open:thumbup:

Cool, might have another bash at this. Loved it earlier in the year.
Thanks Stagger. This is on the list again for 2011 :)
In anticipation of next year's FRA metrication, I'd appreciate it if anyone doing the whole route as a reccie or race would PM me their Garmin readings. Was out there yesterday - plenty of ice on some of the tracks, some helpfully solid frozen bogs, and some less helpfully slightly frozen bogs that had me up to my shins in chilled mud. Not cold enough up there to free the evil tussocky marsh round Cock Hill though. Brr.
Reccied this today. Bloody hard as nails especially through the marshes/tussocks! Glad to know the route roughly as I can imagine it is very easy to go wrong! I definitely need a couple more long runs to get me ready!
Yeah doing this and did it last year.A tough run and some classic West Yorkshire bogs.I remember it being very foggy last year and getting lost (one of many) trying to find the last checkpoint. Can't believe how many footpaths cross those west yorkshire moors!
I once read, somewhere, that there are more footpaths around Old Town than anywhere else in the UK. But I can't prove it as I can't remember where.Quote:

I've done a reccie so I'm confident about finding my way round but I've never done a race of this length, or with so many checkpoints. Just wondering what to expect.
Cheers
Most are but there are a few that aren't. Certainly the one at Cock Hill and the following two on the east moor are. Shackleton Knoll isn't nor is the one at the top o' stairs.
Thanks Bob.Quote:

Cheers.
We are using a dibber system so we will certainly know that you have been through the checkpoints. We used to use a simple punching of a card at each of the unmanned checkpoints until a couple of years ago it was pointed out that someone hadn't bother to run up to Shackleton Knoll. It was a difficult job checking everyone's cards at the end so we decided the only fair way was to use dibbers. I find it sad when runners cheats .... I would feel I had cheated myself by not actually completing the full race. A list of entries will be published after the closing date but if anyone wants to know for sure that they are in by all means email me as I am taking the entries. The race isn't full as yet so get your entry in if you still want to run.
going to have a crack at reccing half a week on sun and half the sun after, anybody fancy getting lost up there with me?
Cheers WB. I've sent you a PM.
Printed off form this morning, hoping to get it sent off early next week.
I think of this as my giving birth race, I feel pain all the way through, swear never ever again again and then a year or so later start the whole process again. Entry sent today.
Yeah its a proper beast! I've been trying to go through the route mentally in my head, but I know it will be down to a slice of luck on the day.Quote:

Can't wait though!
Done it last 2 years. Or should that be "It's done for me the last 2 years."
Both times I went wrong coming off High Brown Knoll on the way back! Managed to do 2miles extra each year, and totaly different routes between CP 12 and 13!
Was hoping to put it right this year, but I'm on nights and don't think I can get time off.
Hope everyone has a good race. Might get up early and get to CP12 to see how many different routes people take!
but you just did the Hebden (in less than four hours, I note) - is it much tougher than that?Quote:
