What a race! Yes i agree about 6 miles too long for me too! The water at the top of the big climb was most welcome!
Thanks to all the organisers!

The Noor was 4th - brilliant!
I think that's a race that I'm glad I've done so I can say I've done it, and not go back! Sorry! Really well organised, but I ran out of steam big style.
Really pleased for Karl, he looked strong at Laddow and managed to catch the loads in front I thought maybe top five but that's excellent... Any news on other cvfr runners
A few photos from a wet and windy Crowden are uploading on the link below for anyone that is interested. Looked a tough race in the conditions - particularly the ascent of Laddow Rocks!

Sure I wasn't alone in that and hope you all had a great run too! :)
I also enjoyed most of it. I got to the marshals on the final road and they said "about a mile to go". "Great," I thought "if I can do a ten minute mile I'll beat 3:10". But as it happened my last mile took 12 minutes (on a flat road)!!
I still beat my target time, and just sneaked into the top 100. But it'll take a lot of training until I'm as good on long stuff as I am on the short ones.
On that note, I agree with a few others, it's too long. I'll have a chat with the organisers and see if there's anything they can sort out for next year. :rolleyes::D
Great sandwiches, tea and cake.
It was nice to meet Ernie, and presumably Stagger, in the registration queue.
Great PHOTOS
