I was feeling pretty knackered after that one, probably the wind I suppose. Fantastic scene at Kinder Downfall where the wind had blown the water back onto the plateau and it had coated all the rocks with a layer of ice :cool: It was the first time I had run the Mill Hill route as I usually cut across to the Kinder plateau and it seemed to go on forever with the strong wind in your face.
Thanks to Nicky and all her helpers and those brilliant MRT marshalls. I hope everyone got back without any major mishaps.
I'm broken.
Thank you to the race organisers especially the mountain rescue check point dudes.
Time for some beer.

Nice write up and read (as ever) Zeph.
Sounds like you paced it just right, finishing strong!
Like you I:
- started steady and it helped conserve some energy for the second gnarlier half.
- got hacked off with the 'peak exposure' when removing gloves to unclip backpack waist strap to reveal number below jacket.
- had a wind-side contact lens that played havoc fighting not to get blown out (the leeside one was fine).
- plunged (one legged) into those between-flag holes (Snake summit - Mill Hill section) 3 times, but unlike you was lucky not to do any damage.
- perked up after heading east from Kinder Low to Grindslow and enjoyed the cruise down the hill into Edale.
Not a fast time today for me but a memorable day out.
Hope your wounds heal soon.
Great but tough race today. Thanks to the organisers and Woodhead Mountain Rescue, they were out is some pretty grim conditions. Food was excellent as ever and some great support, jelly babies aplenty. Favourite moment was when they tried to give the second ladies prize to a bloke!
I hope that everyone has thawed out by now - it was a bit breezy up on Bleaklow and I can only imagine how bad it was on the edge of Kinder!
Despite the conditions there were quite a few smiles on the faces of the runners and to prove it there are some photos on this link https://www.flickr.com/photos/114588...7650237963961/

Well done to all. Here are some more photos from just below Black Hill.

The morning after & I'm feeling a little sore in the legs. Big thanks go out again to RO, marshals, MRT, supporters & the crowds that gathered to cheer at CPs along the way. Despite feeling a little emotional when I couldn't feel my hands going on to Kinder, and losing a fair few places in the last third, I found the whole race pretty life affirming.
Shaun I don't know if your are commercial or a keen amauter, but you got a great photo of me. Can I put it up on facebook (with credits)?Quote:

The highlight for me yesterday was sledging down the final hill into Edale. My backside was frozen for about 15 minutes afterwards but the slide was great fun :D
I just do it for the fun of hanging around Bleaklow in a howling gale! The images are there for anyone to use so please feel free to put it on facebook.Quote:

I am becoming a creature of habit, just missing the top half. 10 minutes needed this time, almost the same as Pendle before Christmas!

I can assure you, they were both there.
I wondered who it was using me as a wind shield all the way up to Mill Hill. Got to Kinder Corner and the crafty bugger shot off like a scalded cat.
Cracking photos! Your shot of me bent double made the front page of the race website; quite why I'm bent double when the runner behind me is upright I cannot explain, maybe I was cowering from the wind... Great shot mind & I'm glad you didn't capture me whimpering on Kinder!Quote:

Cheers Sam. I was talking to the mountain rescue guys afterwards.They are a great set of lads who do a very important job for no financial reward. I will certainly give a good donation next time I see a collection tin.Quote:

Is this debris from the race - still there from January?!
Not the Trigger race stuff; we only put small flags leading off the PW and two canes on the fence/stile. And I went up and collected them myself on the Tuesday.Quote:

or possibly from moors for the future, they keep doing grass trials to see what is the most hardy.
Nah - definitely looked like race paraphenalia.
