Arrgh !! left my wallet at home !:( will I get in tomorrow ?
DNF. First time i've ever pulled out of a race :( I was gutted. Think its just a strained/pulled calf muscle. Went over on bad ankle just after stream crossing between checkpoint 1 & 2, well taped so seemed to get away with it but then calf started niggling a few mins later so not sure if related. Got steadily worse til I couldn't run on it at all.Quote:

When's the 1st reccie then ?
Oh no! Tough one, bad luck to get injured so early on. How far did you actually get then? See you at 3PR! :DQuote:

Well for some reason I've entered,not sure it's the wisest thing I've ever done, but I always say that so here goes. I'll put on the list now of things to do NOW!
I'm in :). Here's hoping I'm fit and well in five month's time.
So it's at just about 300 now. Does anybody know how many online entries are available?
£6000 of entry fees in under 12 hours... can't be bad!!!
For what it's worth, the 3 peaks route is very sign posted with much of the area where widely different routes would be available (below Pen y Ghent) being made out of bounds for the day. The descent from Pen y Ghent has to follow the Pennine way, with many runners running sort of parallel to that but in the softer bog fields to the right. Ditto the descent from Whernside only really offers a couple of corners to cut with not much at all from Inglebrough until you get a chance to cut a corner not far from the finish.Quote:

That said its more fun to run the 3 peaks ignoring the race route, short cutting below Pen Y Ghent and doing the all runnable loop to the top of Whernside.
I'll come for a recce or two but Edale Skyline is my priority now.Quote:

I'm in too, I am up for any recce runs before the end of the year.
Thats me in at 292. Got something to train for now, don't think ill go out tonight though, looks a bit cold and wet! Lol:D
Perhaps with the higher cost of entry comes pink numbers for the ladies...:DQuote:

The rules are quite specific that the agreed route must be followed on the descent of Pen y Ghent which means sticking to the main path.Quote:

Me too. Can't think why!Quote:

how far do you get?? I take it you are logged in/registered to sportident and doing it through there??
No-one can do it your behalf either I'm afraid one per person only I guess for obvious reasons
Yes, I'm registered and logged in on the sportident site. I managed to get to 'confirm' several times, and twice beyond this, but haven't managed to submit payment details. It keeps saying "An error occurred" at this point. Hope it's not an applemac compatibility issue - I can't buy shopping from Asda for this reason!
And, of course, for 2008 the entire route will be flagged :D.Quote:

Are you in charge of reccies again this year David?Quote:

I'm on an Mac and the website works OK but it was just taking ages to go past the confirm stage at one point and then everything was OK. Are you using Safari? I always use Firefox for stuff like this.Quote:

Mrs Crumbly's managed an entry ,just.
Hmmmm... still having problems, but Martin's been very helpful and has assured me I'll be in :D .
Don't be cheeky :D.Quote:

Is there a lag in the database or should I be scared? :eek:
