Re: Claire's Bob Graham Report
Ace report, worth a 'go balls deep' award that one :-P I'm not sure if my legs or voice hurt more from leg 3 - I will perfect my repertoire of songs for next time!

Excellent! Just don't trust me with the dog biscuits.... or they might accidentally get left in Keswick instead of appearing in Threkeld...
Re: Claire's Bob Graham Report
Great stuff Claire, enjoyed reading the story of your round; as my Mum said to me last Sunday, running for 26 and a bit hours is even harder than running for sub 24 right! ;)
You did really well keeping at it.
Well done

Re: Claire's Bob Graham Report
Great write up Claire, I was impressed that you still had enough in you to come over and thank us for the cake :). Seriously well done.

Re: Claire's Bob Graham Report
I really enjoyed reading your report of a pretty epic day out. Well done on a fantastic effort. In those conditions it takes away absolutely nothing that you took longer than 24 hours. It actually adds something. You are quite right. Over 26 hours of pain is worse than 24! :-)
I was pondering what a contrast with the fact that Saturday's fell race at Sedbergh Gala was won in under 20 minutes. What a wonderfully diverse sport we have.
It has been a great advert for those trackers too. I can see this being the flood gates opening on their use for BGs.
Once again, very well done.

Re: Claire's Bob Graham Report
Great report, Claire, & a great run too.
Re: Claire's Bob Graham Report
What a gripping report! Well done. Looking forward to reading your sub-24h completion report.

After ages on the road, and a quick poo stop (again, you probably didn’t want to know this, I’d never normally poo by the side of a road in front of my Dad and a full cast of supporters, including one with a video camera but I was past caring!
Is this a typical trail runners attitude to other people and the environment?
Re: Claire's Bob Graham Report
A big weldone Claire you deserve it after digging that deep was great to watch your achievement unfold as time ticked by
