Mine got donated to someone in Barnsley by a strong gust up Mickleden.;)

Might go looking for it! My running partner lost his on Outer Edge. There'll be a few grouse out there with extremely warm heads OR good nesting material.:D

Somehow managed to come in the top 20 of the 16 mile race even though I ran round the 23 mile walk ?!?!?!?:cool:

Well done! Good going. The lad I ran with round the 23 mile course finished with me and still did it two hours quicker than me.
Aye. They assumed all Long Runners started at 10am too. Its confusing to work out.

It shouldn't have been as you had numbers to coincide with your start. any one who didn't have the '8' prefix should have been timed to the CC

'3's were long, 4's short

That’s where I cocked up then, and why the time I was recorded at was over 20mins out from what I had self timed.

When I got to PlumBum’s van along with a pack of runners doing the 16 miler I did the same as everyone else was doing, I gave PB my number then walked back to the community centre, once back there I chatted with Jodg and had a bite to eat before letting the ladies doing the registration know that I was back ok.

The clock won’t have stopped until I had reported back to the CC and not when I thought it had, when I saw PlumBum.

Doh! No wonder there was a 20+ min difference between my time and the time given to me at the CC, I thought I must have accidently stopped and restarted my stopwatch.:o:(

12th place for me in the short run. pleased with that in those conditions.:):)

Should have got back before PlumBum left the community centre to meet the racers back :)

And I guess we did meet after all, you joined the table with me and jodg for some food at the finish?

Lots of details Published on Grough

Might I make the plea that forumites not take up the family Walk route just because it has a pub stop.:wink:

More stuff on The WMRT site. There's also the opportunity to run for free this year.

FREE Hot Meal & Drinks for all participants & the satisfaction of knowing you’ve helped us help others for another year, as well as the smug grin you get when completeing the challenge.

11hrs limit for a 4.5 mile walk including pub stop... hmmm:wink:
