Thanks to all involved, especially the family that allow us to run through their garden, that lawn is gonna need some grass seeds. Some good times from fellow formites with plenty sub 4, well done everyone who ran.

Good to meet you MM. Bad luck on your DNF.

Wow, the SportSunday ones are £4.99 !! Have they gone up ? I think I will wait for the, ever reliable & cheaper, Mr Woodhead photos !! (on the Woodentops website).

I'm currently debating whether a gentle recovery run this morning would be a good idea.
Well done, a great effort for your first 3 P's.

I'd first like to mention the marshalls. It was my 5th Peaks yesterday, but all around the course the marshalls really got involved, engaged with us athletes and it's probably the best marshalling I've ever witnessed at any race - they really helped make my day more enjoyable and at the BBH post Peaks curry night last night everyone else agreed.
Good to have a brief chat with BBH and Peaks legend Harry Walker who was marshalling on Whernside, just before the steep part of the descent. Top bloke.
I did notice that the spectator numbers were down - I normally arrive at Ribblehead to masses of people - the grassy approach to the dibbers is usually lined two or three deep and then the Hill Inn also lined with people outside the pub. Just seemed sparse yesterday.
I thoroughly enjoyed the race - my time was a little disappointing at 5:11 but better than last year when the wheels really did come off. I just found myself fighting to stave off cramp from the top of Whernside yesterday, so despite feeling strong, I just couldn't push.
Whernside yet again did for me I suppose.
Never seen as many suffering with cramp in the race - they were all over yesterday.
I agree. Not one jelly baby offer from spectators this year. The weather was a real contrast. Snow on PYG. I then burnt my forehead later on in the sun.
