First boggy bit I jumped on Mearley Moor after the climb up Ashendean Clough my left calf cramped and after that it was a case of just getting round. I still had a very enjoyable run though. That shared pain and encouragement on the final two climbs is always a highlight for me
Great Tech T shirt - what a bargain!

That's a great archive of the results, didn't realise I'd actually done the race in some of the years I have.

I swear by nuun for long days out, but in drinks not raw.
They fizz up in your mouth big time - I find unpleasant, But really good in water bottles. Even then you have to careful, if you use bottles with snap lids rather than screw they can explode with the pressure. Happened to me twice on the four passes, went off like rifle shots andmade everyone around me jump, so gone back to sparkling water screw lid bottles designed to handle nuun pressure.

It's a pity we still haven't found a solution to the discarded gel wrapper problem.
There's a very obvious solution - don't discard gel wrappers on the hill. Gives us all a bad name.
Friends in high places.
