Maybe this has something to do with it being a checkpoint on the route.......

I will also be somewhere at the back....in either a pink vest with a red face or perhaps a red vest and a pink face :confused: if Amex has the 'so this season version' in his boot! :thumbup:
I'll be there as usual for one of my favourite races.
Well done to Selwyn (again) for ensuring the race goes ahead by making alternative parking arrangements and having to deal with a dodgy bridge to cross. (That bridge was dodgy last year so I would have thought the LDNPA would have got it fixed by now:o).
Off to bed now for some sleep. See you all in the morning.
Ricky Lightfoot 1st
Ben Abdelnoor 2nd (well done Ben!)
I heard the mountain rescue had to collect someone with a broken leg near Three Shires stone.
Yes a double fracture of the lower leg. Hope everyone else who fell were ok. I saw another three including the runner who fell after about 300 metres into one of the pools. Good turnout, exciting river crossing, nice conditions.
Unable to run at present I had a walk up from Three Shires Stone towards the oncoming runners with my camera.
Ricky caught me unawares as I was setting up the camera in a different spot. I went across to the line he had taken only to then find EVERY other runner took the route I originally expected.
So the first few runners were mostly missed. Also the last few probably as I wanted to get going back to Blea Tarn for another set up.
At Blea I waited for ages until there were very lengthy gaps between the latter runners. Sorry if I didnt get one of you - if I'd got there sooner I'd have gone a mile ahead of the start and got every one while they were all still closer together, but I like me bed too much to get up at 7 on weekends too.
