Anyone else bought a picture yet and not got the link to download it?

Ady, do you know if this is an automated process or manual? I'm assuming they're just very busy, or not working

Re: Three Peaks Fell Race

Just remember MG...your race had nothing to do with your fitness or your stamina, you are on really good form. You were ill, that's what affected your running and you just can't help that. I'd have been gutted too so I know how you feel but try not to be too down about it and be good to yourself. You'll feel better in a few days and you can set your sights on the next race.xx

Tussockface...hope your eyes recover soon and nice to meet you yesterday, I was the woman stood chatting to Stolly and Steve outside the registration tent.

I am feeling very deflated this morning, weak and weary, shaky and nauseous. I couldn't understand how it took me longer to get up PYG than last time when I am so much fitter this year and have done everything right leading up to it training wise!
Had a terrible run and even struggled to get along the road section when I should have been raring. :thunbdown:
I'm still sat in tears! A big confidence knock too! I need to get a grip, pick myself up and start again! :closed:

Someone posted a flickr link earlier but other then that I don't know anymore.

Starting to wonder today why I dropped out at Hill Inn, funny how quickly you forget what state you were in on the day.

Re: Three Peaks Fell Race

Ha ha ha...my dastardly plan worked. I thought, I'll pretend to be really helpful to Stolly and offer him a drink but actually I'm really going to sabotage the rest of his run so I can romp in ten minutes ahead. Better than trying to tie his shoelaces together....now if only I'd tried that on MashamMan...next time!!

And thanks to Hes who, running past me on the Ingleborough summit plateau shouted and offered me a drink; enough of a distraction for me to look up, trip and suffer a god awful cramp attack in the process :). Recovered a bit on the run in but finished with a disappointing 4:40. Cracking race though in beautiful sunshine, albeit it with a howling wind thrown in. I too was blown into the ditch on the top ridge of Whernside.

As for the organisers asking for runners to carry gloves and hats because of the wind - that seemed daft as, although it was ultra windy, it wasn't really cold at all, just the opposite in fact.

I think it had something to do with the tights as well...

Pics were finished uploading late last night - my PG & Ing pics are together in 1 gallery. They have been out all day so anyone expecting a pic will get it tonight I would have thought.
Anyway, for those too far back to see them here are the 1st Female & Male overall winners:
