If you see my hubby Ian give him a cheer on :-) I'm his usual cheer leader No1 but I'm in Wales on a Postural Assesment course. You can't miss him, he has a tattoo of the muscle anatomy on his left leg :-)
This really does look a lovely course. Will be interesting to see the times of everyone. 1st section will suit the fell running climbers :-)

Will do! I Know mr
RTS well enough. I've run with him on Dark peak runs many times

Thanks for that about the route. Looks like I'm in anyway. Looking forward to it. Intrigued to see how it goes with the strange elimination format! It's a good warm-up for Langdale anyway! Think I'll wear trail shoes as there seems to be quite a bit on tracks etc from what I can gather and I don't fancy running on much of that in X-Talons. Hope that's a wise decision.

Hello I'm new on here. Please bear with me while I find my way.

Does anyone know? if ,after the first eight mile ,we all re-group and start again.

No, you keep going till you are knocked out or get in the final 30men / 10women. Would be a bit chilly for the 1st through to wait for the final qualifier before he/she could start running again. I think that's right anyway :-)

I thinks the re-group would make a better race. In an all out race people are more or less in position after a few mile.
Never mind should still be fun, as long as the weather is kind. See ya's there.

The first section will see a lot of position changes. They have worked it out really well. The very beginning is a mad fell climb, then a brilliant fast ridge, a disengage the brain descent, another assent to favour the climbers then it's fun for all.
Don't know if they planned it so everyone has a chance of playing to their particular strengths during the first section bit if they did then IMO they got it right. Good luck to everyone :-)

I saw Ian :thumbup:
Gotta say that was an awesome day. Stunning views.

It was a tough race, enjoyed it though. Very well worth the money.
