So I take it no one knows if they are in or no?
Just turn up and assume you've got an entry?

I have been told by the race organiser that Half Tour entries have now closed and that the race is full.
Martin,
Thanks for the info. I stupidly missed putting an SAE in my entry, and have not had my cheque cashed yet. I will just assume that I am in, but will there be an entry list on-line?
Simon
I didn't send an SAE either, didnt realise you had to.Quote:

You're right Hursty, but it gives the RO a chnace to send some kind of sign that they have got the entry form
Aye suppose so, but it'll be right, hopefully :)Quote:

I'll give the organiser a call tonight just to double check I'm in, don't want to go all that way for nowt.
Because of how runable it is...and how long it goes on for.:rolleyes:Quote:

I'll beat you for last if I am as I'm really not on form at the minute!
Would be great if we could get an entry list up to confirm if I'm in.
Assuming you sent the entry to the correct address and you have not heard anything then your entry has probably been accepted.
What a fantastic race the Half Tour of Pendle is!! :)
Many thanks to the organisers and marshalls, top job well done.
There was a really good turn out, and the conditions were perfect up there today, still some bits of snow up on top, but nothing to worry about.
Had a brilliant run myself, except for sticking to the wall after CP1 when everyone else took a higher line, lost quite a few places, but clawed them back in a beast of 2nd half :)
Ian Holmes took the win by a long way apparently, and 2nd was P&B runner.
Had a much more enjoyable race than last week. Half Tour of Pendle > Noon Stone :cool:
I felt fairly OK considering my lack of races and training. Looked at 2008 results which was the last time I did it and I was 12 seconds slower this year with a 1:23:38. Hope I can continue my injury free streak and start climbing the placings ladder. Loads of people out on the course today, conditions were very good although the icy moor from CP1 was not up my street. I got a good line down Geronimo and gained 6 places of which 2 took them back on the way to the finish.
Good value grub in the village hall! Thanks to all the helpers, marshals and organizers for laying on this years race.
soso race, well behind Ady and Hursty, seem to be leaving it all out in training at the mo. Oh well picked up some useful club championship points cos hardly anyone else ran from the club.
well done Ady, i was miles behind you but was nursing my recovering sprained ankle and it held up well and i gained ground on Geronimo despite taking it easy on the descents.Quote:

well organised as usual and good marshalling. thanks. will need to do more training ready for the full tour
Thanks to all for the race!
I've never run this race before and missed out on the full tour at the end of last year. I enjoyed it actually and was happy to finish in 1:50. Longest race I have done this year so hopefully I can improve my times as the months go on.
I love Geronimo, but I can see it being a different type of hill in the wet!
Well done to everyone!
:D Pea
Lot's of pro pics here:

Well done to the legend Holmesey for a fab result, hats off!
Also well done to all forumites, I think I need a forumite vest with my name on, as I never notice any of you, very slack of me.
Stella, thanks for the safety pins, much appreciated, that'll teach me to read the instructions when I enter next time, d'oh!
In case anyone is wondering, and u saw some nupty in 3/4 cycling tights, that was me, after having cycled the 20 miles to and from Hebden Bridge to set up my excuses! Before you ask, the padding......yes before the race, it did feel like 8 extra pairs of b*ll*x, but didn't notice it once huffing and puffling thru the race. Think I did 1.26.20
Geronimo, had a great line down there, and really enjoyed the descent (better than last Sundays reccie when it was snow and, unlike Scott, Scott, and Gary, I pood myself). One year I've decided I want to do some research, and find out the full garb of geronimo, and maybe use it with axe (?!?) for the descent, shouting the war cry, maybe I need war paint on the face!
Many, many thanks to the organisers and all the helpers, without your time, this wouldn't exist, nice one.
Some more photos here from Mrs T, Saving herself for the RAB miniMM tomorrow.
Thanks to all marshalls and organisers. Great day.

I was pretty chuffed that i managed to run all of the first climb to the top, felt pretty ill getting to the nick of pendle and going past the resevoir but felt abit better as the race went on.
The 2nd climb is a total beast, i probably could have run it but i decided i'd follow everyone around me and walked it.
Ian Holmes was certainly on a mission!!!!!
Cracking route, a little too hot at times:eek: and as ady said, that icy stuff after CP1 was abit of a pain, other than that cracking race.
Really enjoyed that, sorry to state the obvious but blimey that's a whole different world to road running.
I ran all the way up the first climb and was feeling pretty pleased with myself but from then on must have dropped 30 places. I wasn't done in but I just can't pick way across that terrain and descend as fast as you boys - it really is an art.
Third lady was otley and just behind me.Quote:

Any idea when the results for this will appear, or is it dependant on Brett coming back from his w/e away?
It saying 'a few days time' on Clayton website.
Sounds like everyone had a good time.:cool: Shame to miss it.
Yay :)Quote:
