[QUOTE=Harry H Howgill;127246]Mark Addison was there, disappearing into the distance with the leaders on the first climb. I think he finished around 15th?? It's all in the descent though, as I found to my cost.Quote:

Interesting to see Ted Mason up there again. He must have had a good few week's training recently.Quote:

Sorry to hear of your debacle GF. Anne & I saw you being carted off by the Mountain Rescue boys but didn't know it was you at the time. Best of luck with your recovery.Quote:

A good turnout this year and weather was superb notwithstanding the c**p forecast.
Well done to Sam for keeping this classic race alive - I'll be back next year (and probably a few years after that)
Bad luck. Happened to me three years ago at the Fairfield. Was about 6 months before I was (tentatively) racing again. Its fine now though, just a slightly odd shape. Crutching around gave me piles though.Quote:

Has anyone got a link to the results? The Coniston web site hasn't been updated yet.
Anyone got a link to the Coniston results ? :D
Many thanks,
Pete
They're still not up, but eventually they should be here http://www.conistonfellrace.org.uk/
Come on Sam, lets get the results up !!!
Patience Tomsk - remember the old days when you had to wait for weeks for the postman to deliver!!
Sam probably has more important things to do.
Results for 2008 now up at http://www.conistonfellrace.org.uk
Apologies for delay.
See other Coniston Fell race thread for results
Results are on the website now.
Sat 3rd May.
Anyone doing this, I know it clashes with the Stuc a'Chroin championship counter which is on the same day. Hopefully Coniston will still get a good turnout......
Anyone got any tips for route choice, or Nav? I hear that there's decisions to be made on the decent off the Old Man?
I'll be there this year.
Some info here :- http://www.conistonfellrace.org.uk/
Was up there at the bank holiday weekend. Had a look at the course, seemed ok from the Sun Inn beer garden, the pint of Golden Pippin wasn't bad either. :)
Ill be there, hoping the weathers ok so the descent is visible. looking forward to it though Stuc was a favourite when I was in scotland.

Yep going to have a go at this i was 2.30 at Coledale am aiming for under 2.30 for this i know still slow but will get round somehow!
I've been looking at the route and it looks like a bit of a toughie!! That decent through the quarries will be interesting.
Hoping for about 1:30, nothing stunning.
Yep, Soreen's the stuff you need, but porridge (with a few additives;)) also helps.Quote:

Just have to make do with a pub crawl around Coniston 'til then :D
Hope we can get some good views from the tops tomorrow. OK I know that we should all be running so fast that we've no time to stand and stare but I might just pause for thought at the top somewhere provided the clag decides to keep away!!:)
What is the exact distance for this race. I have seen various distances from just over 7 to 9 miles? I have never done this one before and, looking at the climb from the start, it looks tough!
