It would be Vest Shorts and Salomon's for me, It won't be too cold and too much wet gear is horrible.

Now how is the the trail race going :rolleyes:
Owens and Lightfoot close together through Whernside.
Victoria Wilkinson, first woman through Whernside and in 22nd place overall :cool:
Owens and Lightfoot flying along, 6mins quicker through Hill Inn than when Tom did a spritely 2:54 when it was the World Long Distance Champs. If they keep this pace up it'll be one of the quickest times for years.
...but only joint 1st with Ricky Lightfoot at the moment, plenty of 'racing' to come.....:)Quote:

Aye something amiss... Steele Jebby gray and math + more? all just disappeared... A 15 min gap in the results between Ricky and Tom then Simon, suspect timing issue..Quote:

Assuming the results are correct as displayed that was a great effort by Adam Osborne for that time.
Where are the results/tracker?

Massive Thanks to all the Marshals and medical team.Had a right battle with the mighty Fishwick coming off Inglebugger then collapsed round back of blands van with hypothermia without warning afterwards.Massive Thanks to the guy that spotted I wasn't just sleeping and got me in the tent and also the lad whom git my dry clothes out of my car.I was 29 degrees under my armpit.if it wasnt for those guys I would of been knackered. Fishwick ruined me.The nicest hardest man I've ever met.cracking day.Fell runners-a breed apart.
Nice to see the fine, historic clubs of Ellenbrough and Shettleston at the top of the men's results list.
oh wait.
Ditto re the marshals etc. Glad someone was on hand to spot you were in trouble.Quote:

Might be a daft question but what's the point of having a cutoff time at the Hill Inn if it's not enforced?
Only 681 runners got through the sub 3-30 time limit at the Hill Inn and yet 704 are shown as finishing - did the marshalls ask them to retire and were ignored? If any of them had got into trouble on the last section who would have taken the blame?
Nobody after the cut-off continued. We had some computer issues earlier in the race, which is likely to have put the numbers out of whack.
Many thanks to all the marshals and organisers. I came just wanting to pick up the T shirt I'd ordered and beat the Ribblehead cutoff. Probabaly wouldn't have done it without the High Birkwith extra one to motivate me. Managed to fit Whernside in as well so a good day day out. If my knees hold out I'll be back next year properly honed and do the lot again!
Had a great day today. Set off slow & steady with no thoughts of breaking 4. Met plenty of great people, marshalls included & the clag lifted at the start to show off some stunning views. 4.16 for me.
I heard someone take a fall coming down Penygent on the grassy rocks must have been around 45 mins in is she OK? She was being tended to. Possibly in a Rossendale vest?
Great day thanks to all for making it so.
Yeah, I saw her Jezzlar. She was in tears & obviously in a lot of pain. She was being looked after as I passed. I saw another lady later on (maybe top of Whernside ?, can't remember) in a similar state. I hope they're both ok.Quote:

My other special mention goes to the people on the Ingleborough ridge who lug water across from the spring. This year you saved me from cramp and kept me going to the finish!!
You finished just in front of me Jez so must've been one of the 20ish that overtook as I hobbled down Ingleborough! Was going well until halfway up Ingleborough and then my legs decided they'd had enough.Quote:

What time are you taking as the cut off time?Quote:

Anyone think that moving the start time back by 30mins meant there were more walkers out on Whernside and Inglebugger?
I realise there were a couple of organised 3P walks going on as well.
The cut off times on the day are amended slightly by the race director based on the exact start time of the race and the weather conditions. The cut off time that I enforced as per the race director's instructions was 2.05pm - everyone arriving after this point was retired and transported back to the event field.Quote:

Thank you to all the marshalls & support out on the course - especially our very own Brett on top of Wherside - Happy Birthday - hope you're having a well deserved pint or 2.
Any decent (free!) photos out there yet ?
