There weren't any there when I got there either. I only had a few biscuits, so not sure what kept me going over the last few miles, probably just the determination to beat a few of the people in front.... and finish in front of the Singing Fellrunner.

We'll have to speak next time Merry.

Took me 26.5 minutes to eat one hot cross bun after that last checkpoint:eek: That's what kept me going to the finish, determined to scoff the bloody thing, look forward to meeting you, Marvin;)

Well that was a grand day out as they say! Lots of friendly faces about. Found it quite tough though - think it's all the hard ground you run over. And why did we have to climb all the way up to Heptonstall only to go all the way back down again?! Think I might wait another 15 years before I do it again! Cracking donuts at Mankin Holes (but no cups of tea!). Cheers Brett & co (have you got to the beer yet?)

Somebody was hiding the doughnuts from me, did not see a single doughnut all day:mad:
Them climbs were just like being in the Army, 'Right, lads, up to the top of that hill then back down' What for corporal 'Cos i said so, Pondlife':D

5700ft, no wonder it felt so hard, I hope I never see another cobble

Tough event mainly I think because so much is runnable. I don't know what happened to Marvin but he set a blistering pace with Daz after that last big climb from the final checkpoint, well run both of you It was good to have your company for the last three hours.

I think every one has mentioned me who I saw plus YDT. Merry we'll have to have a longer chat next time. I mentioned Adrian to a few guys and he beat me again! White hair V60!

Thanks to the marshalls again. good effort.

always nice to see your pretty face at a race ;)

Thanks Brett and the marshalls for all your hard work, it was a cracking day out. That chilli at the end was fantastic!

Thanks Brett and all your helpers!
10 miles further than my legs had been before and they are certainly not letting me forget it!

Great event and my first past marathon distance, thought i would cope well and didnt really!! thanks to the Clayton runner who helped me with my major bout of cramp just after Stoodley pike climb, and apologies again to the fella whose bag i inadvertently poured a bowl of chilli into in my post race stupor!!
Calderdale hike next long one and already stocked up on the Ibuleve gel!!!
