Anyone planning on doing this next Monday?
I ran the first race in 1999 but was one of those who missed the first stile onto the fell :eek: (was actually 4th at the end of the uphill road section) so need to make amends for that.

:D I was in the following pack that year. Now I would've shouted you's back, really I would, but you and Jason H from Ilkley and a couple of others as I recall were so far ahead you didn't hear me and I was puffed trying to keep up with you lot :o . T'was fun to be 3rd in the race at that stage though...:DQuote:

I guess I was technically 1st for a few seconds just before the stile:D. I actually heard all the kerfuffle behind me but for some reason decided to try and shout Jason and the other 2 back as opposed to turning round and getting on with the race. Mind you I surprised a couple of regularly slower club-mates by overtaking them half way across the fell section having left them well behind from the start.Quote:

May have a go at this tomorrow, but not sure of the route. Is there the odd flag? do I need a map? as being towards the back of the field I may loose sight of the person in front.
who else is having a go?
Hope you got there Martin's Mrs.
A good race today despite the hailstorm soon after the start, and my calf cramping as we turned into the home straight -its not tightened up too much on the drive home so hopefully ok in a day or so.
Finished 47th (out of 112) in 62.49-not sure winning time but vets 1st three - Mark Aspinall, Richard Pattinson, Steve Webb.
Had brief chat to Leeds Rhino -how are the shoes?:eek: Also think I spotted Gaz in the results a few places ahead me.
Yes, I made it there (but wish I hadn't) - didn't have a good run, but yesterdays 12 mile training run and a few too many vodka's last night didn't help.
Thanks to the organisers, good route, well marked and marshalled pitty about the weather. What a long run in on the track/road and also had a calf problem. Will be back to do it again.

Hi Multi T , my shoes were officially retired after the race and deposited in the nearest bin :( get my new inov-8 's broken in now.
You had a good race, I was a bit tired after doing Dodd Fell and then cycling 20-odd mile to this race. 71 mins I took.
Its a good race,a bit miffed getting stuck at the stile for over a minute,plenty of dodging and weaving to do over the limestone outcrops, and then a fast second half of the race. 4th time I've done Austwick
I must admit to being a lot fitter (well until the calf played up:( !!) than when I finished behind you at Meanwood and also tend to do a lot better on the faster (non-technical) courses.Quote:
