3 x 3 Peaks

[Man from Del Monte]

We did it!!

Got to say it was just as tough as I thought it might be.

Being stuck In Majorca by the dust cloud and only getting home on Thursday after a 48 hour ferry / bus ride was not exactly the best pre-race prep. I was litterally falling asleep on my feet coming of Ingleborough for the 3rd time (did all laps same way round - race route).

doing it once was bad enough in that heat.
a great achievement

Well done chaps. I stumbled across this thread & saw that you'd run the Calderdale Way as a training run. I'm hoping to have a go at that in the summer some time so it's good to hear someone else has had the same idea. I'm unlikely to match 10:45 though!

Ian - our lap times were 5.35, 5.40 (race) and about 7.15. The last lap was much slower as we had more support / rest stops, it was dark from the summit of Whernside and we were both a tad jiggered ;-)

Andy - Calderdale Way in one go is a really nice day out but you need to plan supplies carefully as there's only limited grub / drink available en-route - there's a report here if you want a read : http://blog.sportsshoes.com/category...g/andy-nicoll/

Very well done, an awesome achievement and an enjoyable 5.35, 5.40 and 7.15 hours out i'll bet, respect.

I read the write-up - thanks for that. Food's no problem as I only eat jellies on a run. Water's my main concern for the Calderdale Way. Apart from the spring on Stoodley Pike did you find "safe" water anywhere else? I walked it in a day many years ago, but I relied on buying milk from shops & beer from pubs. They're not really good options for running.

Well done Bingley lads. Both Jane Tomlinson and your club-mate Jenny would be proud of you

Well done Andy and Steve. 3 x Three Peaks is a super achievement. I'll look forward to your next outing.
