Just repeating what I heard. It wouldn't surprise me if she was injured and still raced. Seemed bit of a mileage lover to me.Quote:

Being only semi-computer literate I wondered if there is some way of saving the highlights onto my computer?:confused:Quote:

You can use a asf capture program such as GetASFStreamQuote:

Hopefully when you then open the link to the S4C program (or right click on the link to the program and copy it) it should launch GetASFStream, prepopulate the URL bar with the correct location. If you then hit the record button it will download the file and save it as an asf file which you can play in windows media player. If you click on the folder icon you can choose where the file will be saved.
What does seem to be a mismatch in the selection process, is between women and mens team selection but this is nothing to do with me so maybe I shouldn't comment.
What's the difference between the men's & women's selection policy then??
Just something Mary said about selection process and the emphasis being put on the Fairfield race.Quote:

An interesting race to watch – who says fell running is too boring to be a spectator sport? Good film direction can always create compelling viewing. Well done S4C!
I’m surprised that there hasn’t been any discussion about some aspects of the race. Surely the fact that the first two runners down the mountain were unselected is worthy of note? And the fact that the second man home was a veteran must raise a few questions, surely?
And, for an international race, is it usual for runners to share a crowded path with the public? Is this why only three non-UK countries fielded teams?
Super film, a good, hard race and, for me, some happy memories – but I think there is room for improvement.
For once I agree with much of what YT has wrote. Regarding selection, well thats the beauty of selection. I was selected but couldn't commit to the race 9 weeks before the event. I had entered myself anyway so it made no difference to me. If it was ever going to be turely international, then surely it needs some good international runners? Italians, French, Austians etc. Make it more like a grand prix race out in Europe with good prize money and then therefore more chance of attracting more international runners.
Photos update - Another 80 have been uploaded this morning. Just about another 30-40 to do this afternoon then all done.

ROADRUNNER . do you think with perfect conditions ect ect , kenny stuarts 1985 record could be beaten ?
Not by me! What is perfect weather? Does the record have nothing to d with the surface?
Was the Kenny Stuart record for this race done by using part of the railway track? or was it completed on the mountain track? partly using the railway did seem to make it quicker this year. I think the surface makes a big difference.
Kenny Stuarts record is impressive a minute and half quicker than roadrunner on the way up and a minute and a half on the way back down. 22 and a half minutes for the descent is a bit quick.
I thought the record used to train track, one reason why people doubt the record will ever fall. Not definate, though.
I totally agree with Roadrunner,Quote:

the prizes are pretty poor for a race of this calibre which is a shame because i think its the best orginised mountain/fell race that we have in Britain
A good report & pictures about the race here;

Cheers Lightfeet, nice to see you giving it jazz hands as you finish :D .
Nobody ever seems to mention Mark Kinch's effort in 1995, missed the record by about 30 seconds...........was that on the newer route aswell??Quote:

sorry! it's here.......
Well done lightfeet, some good publicity in the Caernarfon Herald and much deserved.
There was a good piece in our local (Altrincham) paper headed "Rolling back the years!"
About Erno (Jeff Norman) who won the race in 1979 and was 101st this year and second over 60.
did'nt jeff also win the snowdon marathon?
Snowdon Photos update - Another 115 have been uploaded this morning to make a total of 472 in total. (All done) Hope you all enjoy.

Aye 1.02.58 was the precise time, so only 29 seconds down. Not sure when route changed - sure someone around here will know. Just show's how easily forgotten someone who is only second best can be eyhh??Quote:
