132 entries in already :)
I'm in:w00t:
Up to 221 entries now - I'm one of 'em!! :thumbup:
Looks like I'm in...a fine way to 'celebrate' my new age category! Will keep me motivated during training too.
I'm in! Will be my first time ...
I'll probably be trotting round two or three times before the race - any hangers on welcome :)
Might take you up on that Stolly !
I'm not and I think I'll stay away this year, I'll have a look at some thing fresh.
I'm in for my first 3Ps... need to get my hill training in as I died towards the end of tour of pendle and hobbled in with cramping legs....
Jogged the 3Ps in january snow last year - stopped for a bacon butty at ribblehead - i hope you can do that in the race as it worked a treat :)
Do what you need to do to get round Neil ! I'm going with flat Cola this year.
id appreciate a 'trot' round prior race if dont mind, post dates when you may be going?Quote:

Practice running 3.5 miles up a hill, sprinting another 1.5 miles off of it, running over muddy undulating hillocks for 8 miles, along a road for another 1.5 miles, then up an effing great steep, and ever steepening, hill for 2 miles, (be sure to practice getting cramp at this point), then a fast descent over broken boulders for 1 mile, then another 1 mile of track and road running, then 2 miles running on limestone crags and slabs, then a steep 0.5 mile climb to the top of a third hill before the best part of a 6 mile run in to the finish on rocks and mud :)Quote:

Thanks for that stolly. No need to panic then
Oh, and another thing Chad. Practice keeping nicely hydrated & fed whilst on the move, then forgetting completely leading to said cramp. You'll love it - afterwards!
Not keeping hydrated was my foolish mistake last year ! Stumbled home, pathetically in 4.30 !
I'd say get the grimace sorted and the AAAAARRRRGGGHHHH for on top of whernside,Quote:

Well I'm in. 382 so far.
Bring on Whernside
That pretty much sums it up (and fumbling for the dibber at each checkpoint as it has spun round your neck twice and disappeared somewhere down your back that is just out of reach)Quote:

the following saturday we will be leaving a car at Horton and running from Ribblehead to Horton doing whernside and Ingleborough and then the following Saturday (29th Jan) will be doing all 3 starting from Horton.
so far
definite 2 for the 15th
3 for the 22nd
3 for the 29th
anyone welcome will be steady 5-6 hour pace
Seems pretty busy, over 400 in so far. Glad I was organised and entered. First time for me, hopefully be able to knock this off my bucket list......
looks a good race wish i could do it, have to brush up on my navigating
No navigation required ! Just follow the runners. You honestly can't go wrong !
Yep, I think you can do better than that young man. :wink:Quote:

Andy.
Hi Andy u ok, will do sounds lovely race, was thinkin off it but stollys's description of it convinced me. doing the llanbedr race at start of april , too good training runs
I'm in, 1st time was in 2009 and I scraped in a whisker under 4:30.
Entered last year but achillies problems prevented me running, so a 3 month lay off and stretching ever since should see me round.
So the aim is to get round faster but what would be a realistic amount to be expecting to shaving off for a 45 yr old middle/rear pack runner 15/20mins?
Rich
I'm Ok thanks, will be an excellent event, good luck there Rich, 1st time for me, so can't help you.
Chamber, seriously. Take a map, but I doubt very much that you'll need it ! Get entered before it's too late.....................
I spy a Grump!!!:)Quote:
