Nice to see the clayton and bingley lads acting like true englishmen.

I've got a simple target of 3:17 for next year to beat. however i wont be signing up for this again - and please you must all remind me of this come january! It is very very hard!

Daleside - reading your post has got me tempted for next year..........you can speed past me on the final stretch if you want............do I need to lie down in a darkened room..........

Some storming runs form Daz, Fleeter. Well done everybody for yesterday.

came a cropper early on in the descent and destroyed my favourite gloves in breaking the fall to save me smashing my face on a rock (I think the poor guys that helped me up had assumed I'd done just that given the expression on their faces - sort of looking at me with one eye closed just incase it was messy - but could have just been the driving rain in their faces....) - anyway - had a fantastic bum-glide down to the river and just embraced the falls from thereon - my last one just infront of a photographer - anyone know any links to photos?

great race
