Just back from marshalling top of Jacobs Ladder prov results here
http://www.dpfr.org.uk/index.php?p=n...ovisional.html
had my eyes on a 3hr 15 time and was on course until i decided to jump off the end of grindslow ignoring earlier advice from messers briggs and howie:) .
but it had to be done
i wouldnt recommend it though , i reckon i lost a few minutes and the climb is horrendous, but i managed to hit the checkpoint bang on, i felt on top of the world when alan yates said hats off to ya young lad for trying that as i scrambled up towards him.
a great day out and thanks to all who helped out
sight of the day must have been ian dark peaks mudclaws
OMG i cant describe them, ha ha:D
i stashed some liquid en route which certainly helped.
good turn out from the pennine runners.
great weather, nice to see you again dom , hope you recover soon.
again noticeable how quickly briggs hit the flapjack
just taking the dog for a quick 2 miles :eek:
Daz - that was some run for someone taking it easy!! Well done. Wouldn't listen about the down & up, though, would you?
Just seen the results. I'm a bit miffed - looks like I was first vet 45, but they gave the prize to some bloke who finished 5 minutes after me:mad: . Oh well, next year I'll be a vet 50, so I'll just have to try again I suppose!!
Thanks to all the marshals, organisers & everyone else involved. It was a fantastic day to be out on the hills. Not forgetting Bertie Bassett at the bottom of Lose Hill - I thought I was halucinating.
That wasn't you between RR and Crookstone Knoll was it?Quote:

Feel very tired tonight
Oops, AndyJ has just phoned me to apologise. He's got a prize waiting for me to be picked up! Thanks very much.Quote:

When the splits come out you might find you actually saved a bit of time. I would have had a go myself, but I hadn't recced it and went for the safer option. Quite pleased with the run, though 7 mins slower than 2006, still it was much boggier today (and windier in places.)Quote:

Unfortunately on the descent after the ladder over the fence it was stabbingly painful - I ended up hobbling through the woods and then walking to Mam Tor.Quote:
