Hoping to be one of the 75 that gets an entry for the Teenager with Altitude, you'll love the Waltz mate, it's a cracking race;)

Re: Three Peaks.

How do times compare to, say, Tanky's Trog - slower or faster?

Or is it Borrowdale that people say is generally quite close timewise?

In my experience PPP and Tanky's times similar :) Suspect others might not agree!

Re: Three Peaks.

Entry site says FRA members £16.I ticked the box but it asks for £20.Does the FRA have it's own UKA number ? If so,can anyone tell me it. I could do a lot with £4!

Last Year:
Three Peaks: 4h 32m
Borrowdale: 4h 28m
Tanky's: 4h 30m
Suspect it differs for other folk;)

If I could do my Tanky time I'd be over the moon:D

TT 3.25
PPP 4.05 I need to do a sub 4 then I can stop doing this race:o
Edale Skyline 4.03 (08) Suspect I'd be 20 mins faster on last years conditions

Two years ago I left my debit card at home so couldn't enter at work. By time I entered around 8.30am Tuesday there were only about a hundred places left :eek:

Bloody 'ell, thats dedication, good luck.
4 months of been tea total, that takes some doing if you usually enjoy a few pints. I take it you'll be well in front of me then.:p

i will be in front of you in the bar at Horton but thats all.
target time is to beat 4hrs 30mins for this year. (4hrs 50 last year) so i reckoned drastic measures were needed to get fitter

A similar standard to me, I'm also hoping to break 4hr 30min.
Tried 3 times though and never managed it yet so why will it be any different this year.
2007-4:40, 2008-4:47, 2009-4:34.
Its flat as a fart where I live so I'm gonna make an effort to travel to get a few climbs in this year, and try to up my mileage.
Easier said than done though.:p

Re: Three Peaks 2010.

I'm in now - hardly great prep - had my first 20min jog on a treadmill last night after a hamstring strain 11 days ago.

Hopefully potter around the Mid Lancs at the weekend and take it from there.

Isn't it FRA policy that FRA members who are not members of a recognised athletics club should not have to pay an unattached levy to enter races published in the calendar?
