Hello fellow runners and poets what do you think your time will be for the Anniversary Waltz ? .
Mine i will say based on getting my fat a**e around a demanding course something in the region of 2 miles an hour. I say 5 Hr 30 Mins. Yes i know all you start laughing at the back.
They called me mad and i called them mad and damn them they outvoted me !!!.
5:30....no way!Originally Posted by Herakles
I was sweeper last year and stuck with the last placed lady....she was VERY VERY slow.
So slow infact that we had to keep having a sit down at the bottom of climbs to give her a chance to get ahead.
She is listed as 2nd to last, last year if you want to have a look.
Ignor the actual last place person 'Aaron' .....the time is wrong and he wasnt last.
As for my time....EMMMMMA?
You forget Al that when i see your photo on your blog you look half my weight.

Mmmmm good question...having never done this race before I haven't got a clue...I have run two previous fell races of approximatelt this distance the last one being gisborough moors which I think was about half the ascent and it took my two hours twentythree (back of pack kind of gal!)...so I can only guess that I will be considerably longer for the Anni...the last finisher last year was 3 hours 46....I think I would be pleased with 3 hours but don't know how possible this is...when I say pleased I mean of course in the scheme of things I think this would be good for me although obviously it would be nicer to not be on my feet for three hours and spending some of that valuable time sneckliftering
my aims are thus:
looking forward to seeing you all there !
- steady and slow trot around
- my mantra throughout will be "just keep going"
- i will try not to get lost (as I have not like some others had a chance to recce the AW and there is talk of cloud on the top and such like)!so i will be taking down Harry's bearings before i head off and looking at the map etc etc the night before (she says with confidence
)
- to enjoy the atmosphere and experience as much as is masochistically possible!
ps herakles I too have put a bit of beef on but hey eddie izzard wasn't exactly slim pickings when he did that obscene number of marathons recently!!!!
and we run because we like it through the broad bright land
Stop fretting folks, i've done next to nothing training for the last 2 months and plan on coming last

May be if you have to navigate a bit, or even follow the flags and paths. We know thats not your strongest point but running has never been a problem to you, your a natural

I will be going off very steadily, being careful with my barely-healed calf
so keep a look-out for me near the back on the run out to Scope Beck and the climb up Robinson
hopefully I can push on a bit after that, and I'm targeting 2:59:59
Scramble the rock face through the glare of morning sun — to run
