Looks like there'll be a gang of us around the 4:30-4:45 area. I'm also going for a steadier start after getting to Ribblehead too quickly last year and then rapidly working my way backwards through the field.

Starting to get excited again about this. Whatever the critics say, this is always a very special race for me.
4:22 in 2008. Last year I was up Pen-y-ghent in virtually the same time as the year before but then the wheels fell off. I couldn't deal with the heat and came in at 4:43. I would love to do 4:15 this time but a lot depends on the conditions on the day.
yes, I've just cut it out and I'm gonna pin it on the club notice board tonight to annoy our road runners !:thumbup:Quote:

Was it you who beat me by 0.06 of a second? Or did I beat you by 0.02? :)Quote:

Just received the 2008 race on DVD :)...thought it would make a nice keepsake and to remind me what I've got to do in a few weeks! :w00t:
I got that as well MG, unfortunately it shows more of the climbs and not much descending (which would be my favourite bits to watch). That said it's still a good DVD
Ahh I remember coming off PYG and loads of people passing me...I have to confess I'm a right girl on the downhills! :oQuote:

Looking forward to watching it and someone said I'm on it for about a millisecond at the start! :)
