[QUOTE=IanDarkpeak;318270]What happened Martin, Nothing serious I hope?

Don't think so Ian. Twisted my left ankle coming off Kinder before WH and then my left calf was in pain half way down the descent off WH. Chose the discretion as opposed to valour approach. First ever dnf.:( Seeing the GP tomorrow.

You posted a great time. Well done.:)

Re: Three Peaks 2010.

did my last proper training for this yesterday - gonna do a bit of speed work next week, then on a four-day walking hol next weekend might fit in some hill reps.

Would dearly like to beat 4 hours but I think that's beyond me - 4.15 more realistic.

I hear the conditions underfoot are more trail rather than fell - that correct?

amazing how quickly the ground has dried out,was quite fast,paths/tracks solid.

Yeah the quite a lot on roads and tracks most wear road and trail shoes, not many wear fell shoes as there isnt enough cushioning for the road sections.

My injury hasn't improved so it looks like I'll have to sit this one out. PM me if anyone is interested in running it and I'll arrange a number swap.

Only time will tell personally I'll carry an empty 400ml bottl drink well at the stations and then take small drinks whilsrt running .5lt in one hit is not very efficient and may give stitch/stomach cramps

good idea

But I'm usually OK with 'a lot, not very often', even though I know it's not the recommended way.

Went over Pen-Y-Ghent to Ribblehead on the same day (missed you by mins I reckon as Matt was still in the cafe) and the ground is quite hard a part from the section between the shooting hut (top of Pen-Y-Ghent Lane) and the Peninne Way, which was very very wet!

As long as you don't try to force me to join your club, I would be pleased to accept your kind offer of refreshments.

Hope this mini heatwave :D we're experiencing cools down. Pleased to see the 2 additional water stops. Training seems have to have gone reasonably well for me compared to previous years - will just have to keep everything crossed for the countdown.

Looks like you may be getting your wish. Just looked at at the long range weather forecast on Metcheck. High winds, sleet and very cold - only about 1c

Things can and probably will change though ;)

Re: Three Peaks 2010.

Looking at the weather like it has been with no rain for a while looks like the peaks will be dry if the weather keeps up :rolleyes: unlikely i suppose, but if it is really dry ie record breaking conditions do you think the record can be broke i recon it can what do others think ?

Re: Three Peaks 2010.

In a way the 3 peaks is always a ridiculously fast fell race; I mean is there another 23 and a bit fell race with 5,400 feet of climb thats anywhere near as fast?

Too much of the route is easy running even in wet, wild and slimey weather - the cart track up PyG, the track from Nether Lodge, the road to Ribblehead, the track to the tunnel under the railway, the ridgeline of Whernside, the lane after descending Whernside, the slabbed path up Ingleborough and even much of the 5 or so mile trog in after Ingleborough is easyish running. In addition the initial descents off of PyG and Whernside are also both super fast, especially if you know the proper line off of Whernside. In terms of downhill versus uphill getting on for 16 miles is generally or actually in the downhill direction too.

In fact the whole shebang is a doddle ;) :D

The cramp's not all that nice though.

Re: Three Peaks 2010.

Oh well, I'm not gonna bother doing it now - it was my big challenge for this year rather than suffer the Edinburgh marathon again, and we had a trot round all 3 on Good Friday, so now after reading that Stolly you've made me realise that there's no point really - top man! :D

Right, I was about to go on the wagon until next Saturday, but balls to it, I'm off t'pub - pint anyone? :)

Re: Three Peaks 2010.

I'm just hoping I can get to the start line this year.

Back problems started around 3 weeks ago, seemed to have almost gone, but then aggravated last Friday.
Unable to walk properly all weekend, let alone run.

I'm still in some discomfort and cannot consider running today - with continued progress I may well be able to test myself on Monday or Tuesday.

But if I get to the start line, it will probably be a recce approach with a time of 5 hours or so on the cards.
