What a slog. You'd think marshalls couldve rolled the moor for runners. It's just not cricket. Was the usual high STD of organisation and almost got the phone no. Off one of the tealadies. Amazin time for logue n co considerin condition under foot. I was less than 2 min off leaders on return to c hill but the moor finished me. 67% of top 3 were Irish ha ha
It was ironic humour - of course I was the moron who was not paying attention. It was that last long run in towards the end after the second trig. I must have been looking down and missed the small trod to the right thats all - I had to wade through 2 foot high tussocks and deep water for 200 yards to get back on course :rolleyes:Quote:

Good to see so many of you out today in good conditions (bearing in mind it's February) for the race & good to hear everybody got back home. Just 1 or 2 observations - why can't a micra driver stop for 10 seconds to let a runner cross the road ? Would understand some big shot in a flash car but c'mon a Micra ?!!! Should Ipods & such like be deemed kit (definitely) not to be carried during a race ?
Manhar, those Jaffa Cakes were ace!
Cracking day today. Big thanks to CV for flawless organisation. Lovely to see so many friends out
And they could have cleaned the grease off the slabs on the Pennine Way and all :)Quote:

I'm knackered and my legs hurt and I didn't even have to leave the cricket ground (though I did brave the bog between CP 5 and 6 yesterday - anyone go in deeper than me (knee deep)?!). All due respect to everyone that took part.
Horn broke at start to comedy effect, and at end was just about to send out search parties for missing runner when we found him in the shower :-) otherwise I'm relieved to say that things were pretty uneventful. See you all again next year, and don't forget the Half Trog in November if you want to build up to it in bite size chunks!
I have a stack of lost property. PM me if you know you've lost something, otherwise I'll post up a list in the morning when I've managed to wash the mud off all the shoes so I can write accurate descriptions!
Really enjoyed today. Couldn't race because of injury, so I bimbled up and down between Cock Hill and Brown Knoll for 4 hours saying, 'Well done', to all the passing nutters. Some, impressively, were capable of raising a smile or a grimace. At least I now know the little trods I failed to find in last year's clag.
Well done to all.
Ho dear, sorry old girl, I take it you had a good run.Quote:

Sorry these results weren't up by teatime as I had hoped, but I had to get the dibbers to a night Orienteering event by 17:30! I then thought I'd run round the Chevin woods in the dark!
So that reminds me to thank the following for the loan of the e-punching kit: East Pennine Orienteers for the computer, download equipment, flags, stakes and control boxes, and some dibbers. Thanks to Airenteers/CLARO for the loan of their dibbers, and thanks also to EBORienteers for their dibbers. If you fancy some more serious Navigation check out the British Orienteering Website and look at the fixtures diary.
As we were using orienteering software I had to use Orienteering age classes. M21 and W21 are open age classes for men and women respectively. The M 40 etc for the men and W 40 etc for the women.
For some reason I can't put these results in a readable format. There are a couple of glitches to put right. Andrew Dixon is actually Adrian Dixon, and Joe Craven is actually Nigel Craven. Jim Clegg actually beat Phil Scarfe in a sprint to the line, but was so knackered couldn't get his dibber in the finish box. A couple of you missed checkpoint 5 and 7. So if you PM me a description of where/how you may have missed them I can reinstate you. Hope you all had a good time. I know some of you hate the SI dibber system, and some of you love it. For us it meant that we could account for everyone and not worry that any one was lost.(Other than in the shower, no name mentioned!) Also it means we can use less marshalls, which with some of the weather we have had in the past is a blessing. I have marshalled out at Sheepstones in the snow, and it is a long 3 to 4 hours!
Will get a proper set of results on CVFR website as soon as poss.
Enjoy.

PM me to arrange to get your kit back. Shoes have now been cleaned (in case you just left them behind because you couldn't face the clean up!)
by heck that was hard work
that last southward stretch up to the last manned checkpoint was pure agony - thanks to the Ripon and Dark Peak runners for taking us the right way there. But weirdly enjoyed the last steep pull up the bank ...
through that sort of bog, 20 miles is too long for me - call me soft but it just becomes an exercise in pain for the last four miles, I stop enjoying it. Me and bog just don't get on.
still, delighted to come in under the four-hour mark, and it ws brilliantly organised, and great to see Hursty and soz to Deby Tup for being too knackered to spot him at first as he came in with stef (I think?)
Glad to have had a go at 'The Beast' at last, and it was much as I'd expected. There aren't many runners in the 'tail' for this one and I knew from spotting familiar runners in previous years' results that I was going to be at the back of the field. So it proved, and my time of 5 hrs was pretty much as I'd predicted too.
Despite finishing only just behind DT and Stef, we hardly ran together at all, as their tactic seemed to be to start slowly and finish strongly whilst I employed the cunning strategy of fading rapidly throughout the second half. In particular, my legs appeared disinclined to bend or do any effective work at all when going downhill.
Thanks to all involved for putting on this classic event.
Thanks also to Antisocial for describing me as looking 'svelt'. A rare compliment indeed. I hope your new glasses arrive shortly.
Yes but i also did ask if your apparently slimline figure was due a violent bout of sickness and diarrhea. If i remember correctly you put it down to optical illusion.Quote:

Not sure I'd call that a good kicking, I only caught you at Shackleton Knoll and then took until Cock Hill to properly pull away from you (probably 'cos you wouldn't stop nattering;)).Quote:

An excellent race overall, one i had to do again after last year's inaugural DNF. Faultless marshalling all the way round. A special mention must go to the ladies at the cricket club for the soup and a superb array of cakes!
You must have been just in front of me at the end I think as I was also just under four hours. I was with a group that didn't get the right line to 13 and finished up bumbling through the tussocks near the ventilation shaft. Still, I really enjoyed the last third of the race but perhaps I should have put in more effort earlier on!Quote:

I got 4,700 on my Garmin but I'd say that's overstated.
The distance reading I got - 21.16 miles - probably isn't far out.
21.4 miles, 3,800ft using Tracklogs. How much did you manage today?Quote:

I got 4,691ft climb on my Garmin, but generally I don't find Garmin totally reliable for elevation (if it is my house sinks about 60ft every time I go for a run!) Distance 21.26 miles
10ml / c4000ft at a bit better than BG pace. Both felt fine, so pleasedQuote:

Ah now I know who you are. Say hello next time we meet. There was a bit of debate amongst our group "Shouldn't we be a bit further right?" At which point we struck across the tussocks and joined the correct route at the ventilation shaft. I wasn't sure what the shaft was for, but there is a photo and more information here. It seems it's a listed building.Quote:

Definitely a better line than last year, where I just cut right at point blank into the tussocks and somehow came out just above the shaft, lucky!
Anyone spotted any more photos of saturday yet?
yeah there seeemd to be a few out taking picsQuote:

I have no idea whether there was an obvious trod that I just missed or not or whether this bit was down to just taking a line. Having not run or recce'd the route I was largely depending on being able to follow others :o. The thing is I just assumed the Clem runner had screwed up and, rather than continue to follow him, I took a cut my losses line through some awful stuff to join a trod being followed by the rest of the race. Needless to say the Clem guy ended up taking a difficult but faster line and probably did know what he was doing! Drat and double drat!
Good to chat with you again Stolly. You're a bit of a machine when it comes to the uphill bits.Quote:

There's still quite a few of you out there whose feet are going to get frayed at the edges this weekend...shoes and other lost kit still to be claimed. All freshly laundered now - only because I couldn't stand the smell any longer!
Thanks Mrs JBF - sorry for leaving my shoes for you to sort out - on the bright side my Mud Claws are now so clean and fresh I could pop them in a box take them back to Up and Running. Thanks for hosing em down.
In my post trog daze I also managed to leave a large A3 laminated organisers map for Heptonstall Fell Race - anyone spotted it yet?
I've added them to the CVFR website.Quote:
