How do you DO that, Andy - full colour subject only? Very impressive.
Although I raced on this day I wasn't at this race but I've really enjoyed reading of everyone's experiences and seeing the pictures. What an experience even from the chair.

Messing about with photoshop Nick; I don't really know what I'm doing but it sometimes works.Quote:

Hooray! http://www.cfra.co.uk/results/Wasdale2013.pdf
Going to make interesting reading studying the splits
Sorry Will can't find one of thee. Runners were taking different lines off Lingmell so I must've missed you passing by.Quote:

Still getting a blank page. What is IE?
Reload page. You might see a circular arrow icon. IE is Internet Explorer; I'm on Firefox.
Thanks LJ.Quote:

Your PC has an old copy of the pdf cached. Every time you click on the link you're just opening a copy that you had previously downloaded before the results were up. F5 normally re-downloads the file rather than using the old version in your cache.Quote:

And I thought "http://" was useless junk :rolleyes:
Other things to try if same happens:
Reset your router
Download CCleaner free version http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download clean out your cache (and a lot more, depending what options you select). Some people have never cleared their internet history and it goes back for years!
Oh God!! I just fear this kind of thing. I'm 55 years old and have no idea what a router is or what my cache is to clean out. In fact I am as useless at fixing things with my computer as I was at last Saturday's race!!Quote:

whenever I see Wasdale results it just reminds me how great that Lee/McIver record is...
what is it 3:25ish?
The blokes is that.. their was 4:12.. Lloyd ran 4:17 this weekend.. I know a hot day but still. I think I ran 4:20 or so when i did it on a not quite so hot day..
being contentious - is a vv good womens record but not as great as some - say Peris, Snowdon, Stuc a'chrion where all are 14-16% of the mens, Wasdale is 22%.....
Peris is superb, not sure who has got close. I think Snowdon can go yet, it should be around half marathon time.. so mountain runner from a very strong road running background could stand a chance to push it closer to 70.Quote:

Indeed:see Peris Horseshoe Unbeatable Women's Record? in The Fellrunner June 2006.Quote:

I think you will struggle to see anyone get near Carol's time, unless they are a sub 70 half and can descend (hit return bar here) Wasdale - I ran 4.30 ish the week after skiddaw (so would have had sore/stiff legs) on a wet day wearing gore tex all the way and having no idea where I was going - so I am sure with the right conditions etc it is beatable - more so than Carol's
Ok, well the only positive thing I can say about my race (given that I was 1hr 20min slower than last time - 2009 on a fairly hot day), is that I was happy with my descent off Gable and, looking at the splits, I appear to have made 15 places from there to the end (almost all of them by the next check-point).Quote:

difficult to discuss the results if you can't see themQuote:

I would love to discuss my splits, but the details of the DNF's are not included - maybe a revised results will be issued in due course...?
I think the 22% differential in the Men's/Women's record may have more to do with how "rock hard" the men's record is rather than how "soft" the women's...?
AgreedQuote:

It amazes me the culture of running every week, some good records but it's not what I mean by performance running. So Janet McIver with Duddon and Ennerdale, or many of the Skyrunner athletes, although obviously they target some races more than others. I'm looking forward to Peris :) With proper preparation..
And then things like the Via TransAlpin take it a step further and it's every day!

Got to be the best photo of the race. (Hope it works. Just copied and pasted it.)

TBH its probably time for a new Snowdon record.... the route is now slower.. much slower if the railway isn't used..Quote:

The 3000ers has stood for a similar time and I doubt that route has changed too much.
Snowdon - well Llanberis path changes so much year on year, but it was much faster 15 years ago when it was just crushed rock.. now the steps make it slower but also the rougher nature of the path, but mainly the change at the top...
I'm not sure if KS's record was set with the huge short cut higher up which is now banned... thats another factor.
Undoubtably a great record and most probably it wouldn't be broken, almost certainly, but the gap is greater than it should be..
Murray Strain writing in this years Snowdon programme thinks its do able!Quote:
