Angela Mudge 2nd.
Makes Duracell winner of 3p guessing comp then.
Well that was great fun :D
I finished with a 4:22 but my wheels were falling off badly coming off Ingleborough.
Oh I like the split times - I was 398th at Ribblehead, lost 8 places going up Whernside, gained 12 coming down, gained another 11 going up Ingleborough (including Jodg ;)) and gained another 12 getting back to Horton (slow motion overtaking by then mind).
I went up for a watch at Ribblehead it was pretty good looks like the places changed a lot after there though. Well done to everyone who ran, that wind was pretty stiff in your face from PyG I guess ? I ran the Wray Scarecrow 10k on the way home first road race for a while, bar the London marathon !
4hr 55mins for me on debut. Had a fantastic day and loved the event. Tons of support and loads of familiar faces. Good to meet Manhar, jodj and Mountain Goatess for the first time and great to see NotOnUrJamie back back on the hill!
Finished in 3.57.29 well chuffed with that for a first time.
Had bad cramp all the way down from ingleborough. Ouch
What a good race and some cracking people running it.
It dulled the pain.
Thanks to the organisers too.
Better have a look at my blisters.:eek:
All the discussion about shoes before the event - I turned up in my Puma Trailfox's which I've only run 5 miles in. Promptly changed my mind when I went to register (the field was quite soft) and used Innov 8 Mudclaw 330's - very pleased with the decision since it was quite muddy most of the way.
Just about beat last years time with 4.35 - disappointed really since I was hoping for about 4.15/4.20, but as usual the descent of Ingleborough took it's toll - not enough training in Jan & Feb.
Well done to everyone who competed - organisation brilliant (although I would have liked free rein to descend Whernside on the grass).
4:39 - bad cramps coming off Whernside and doubted I would manage Ingleborough, but got going OK and came down Ingleborough in decent shape.
Really enjoyed it and will be back.
Thanks to the organisers and marshalls and also thanks to the great support around the course.
Tough day. Legs wrecked after that never ending descent from Ingleborough.
Stopped to help a fallen female off Whernside. She was called Sue Beconsall (?), had a nasty fall, cut chin mashed fingers and bumped shoulder/chest. Got her into waterproofs and another runner alerted a marshall who got 1st aiders from checkpoint. Anyone know if she is ok?
Small in comparison, but 4 toenails are turning black. Looks like a momento of the race may last longer than mashed legs!
What a great race. I was concerned that with so many runners, there would be problems with congestion at the start and all the way up Pen-y-Ghent, but the organisation was first class, and with everyone lining up in order of estimated finishing time, I think it was less congested than last year. Well done to all.
I felt knackered all the way round, but my time was 10 minutes better than last year, 3:58:25. The most satisfying thing was making up 49 places going up Ingleborough.
ouch
took it steady at first and i think it served me well for later
finished in 3 hrs 35 something i think.
the run in was murder and felt like id done a road marathon:o
the climbs felt okay but the long paths and road parts was a diffwent story.
I should have worn fell shoes as i was slipping about in my trail shoes.
well organised and my mother in law has rung me to say she was watching my progress.
off out to the pub now
Loved it today, good to see stan and Jamie. Was looking for 4:45 but secretly wishing 4:30 but got 4:38. Well pleased and all the stats are great, I took over 46 people on descent from ingleborough, my plan of taking it easy to stave off the cramps really did work. Well organised too, the atmosphere all the way around was awesome, strangers offering drink and sweeties... you could only do that on the fells eh, you'd get locked up anywhere else.
Anyway, already planning how I can knock that 8 minutes off next years time.
Well done to all the runners, had some good conversations at various points on route. Loved the butties at the end, top nosh.
Well done Jethro and everyone else.
Some photos.;)
Excellent day, finished 4:30. A bit disappointed but suffered severe cramps coming of Ingleborough. I get them every time around the 20 mile mark !!
Did you see the Mountain Rescue Hummer some machine that. Must be a cash rich mountain rescue team?
Big thankyou to the organisers. Did a fantastic job. Also thanks to the First aid team in the tent, had the unfortunate mishap of having to use them, they did a great job in sorting me out. Seen any photo links?
Came home 4:28:44 thanx for reece Ady and Pudgy it stood me in good stead dont think i could of run any faster.A pint of OP now to take the pain away.
Well run everyone. Hope you liked the cowbell.
Well Wycoller didn't quite blow up as predicted. However slow trot off Whernside and even slower off Ingleborough. Finished in 5:01, tried hard for about last 20 mins to break 5 hours but legs didn't cooperate.
A classic case of going off too fast, but am pretty pleased with a 4.38.
Huge thanks to Brett and all at K&C - you made my day. Hope the club chinese goes down well.
How many forunites did I see. Too many name but it was good to see them all. Finally met Stolly on his home turf. Ran with him for a while but I must have been annoying him and he put his foot down;)
How did I do? Crap very disappointed with my 4:36:04
Was on a good schedual and went up Whernside with no problem but felt the cramps trying to rear there ugly head, couldn't stetch out and from there to the end I was running(surviving) at a slow pace:(
Ate masses of food and drink so it wasn't that. Worked out what the compass was for, It spread brie really well on my Bagette at Ribble Head:D
First Sunburn of the year for me, any one else sporting shoulder straps marks off their vest.
The lack of running in the last 2/3 weeks plus my chest problem messed me up. Not a happy bunny tonight.
Q) you needed to bring ID to make sure it was you who got the number and dibber and then gave you a dibber you could hand to any one. :confused:
On a brighter note thanks to Jamie and the jelly babbies.
Great organisation so well done
Yes, good advice indeed Dom. Got there about 20 minutes before the leaders and watched for about an hour then drove to the finish. Great atmosphere and great event.
Next year I would like to do the race, so I will need to keep up the mileage and get plenty of long 'uns in approaching April 2009.
Saw detritus 21 put the jacket on at the Hill Inn and throw a bag over it. A big well done to all those who finished and a well done to those who took part but retired for whatever reason.
Mountain Goatess romping home for the ponies :)

Well done MG, especially after not much more than a month's proper preparation.
yes, big thanks to you for taking me on the reccie, way back in Feb, it helped me negotiate that long run of ingleborough, thats because it was the only bit we could see on the reccie eh.
Cheers and well done with your great time. I'll try and get some training in before next year eh.
How many started?
'Retired finish' folk don't seem to be included in the full results (e.g. John Brown of Salford) even though they started.
They are listed on the splits list. However the system relies on runners producing a "dibber " record. It appears that something went wrong with a dibber box (?) at PyG because a lot of the data is missing so although Sportident shows 742 runners starting I was told by the PPP Chairman that 759 actually started.
But you can't easily see how many DNF's there were.
And how come there are only 216 times for PG and 734 for R?
Which button?

Everyone after #685 is DNF
