Results!

Bad weather must have kept the number of tourists down which must have made things a bit less congested near the top!

Really well organised, great race, quieter on hill, but use of railway and loads more marshalls on the hill made a massive difference.

Good conditions, wet track didn't really slow the descents, a fair few sub 25 descents. Had a poor climb, but descended better. 1:19, after 1:20 in 2008 and 2009...consistent..

Bugger ! I hope Dylan is ok. I was chatting to him before the start and saw him when he was going down. He looked to be going well. Perhaps a little to well ? Let us know you're ok Dylan.

Morning all,
I enjoyed the race as well, I ran most of the way up, apart from 3/4 of allt moses and all of goch, something I haven't done before, albeit at a slow pace, struggled a bit on way down, from halfway house, cramping, I was hoping for under 2hrs, managed 2:02.

Nightingale, I must have been right with you on the top as you were a mere 10 seconds ahead of me but you must have flown down.

Hope Dylan is ok, I saw him coming down and he looked to be going well.
