Anyone planning to run 3 Peaks? This would be a cracking race to use in your build up.

I recced the route yesterday - it took me over 3 hours. It's a great route though but it's tough and it ends with the steepest climb of the day
Studs or trail shoes?

There's a right mix of surfaces and conditions on the route. I used trail shoes (some sort of inov8 Flyroc I think) and was more than happy with them until I ended up sliding down on my arse towards Lumb Falls. Steve, who ran with me, was using studs and was fine on that bit but was skittering around on the wet rocky bits. I'd rather fall over on mud than on rocks myself but you take your pick...
Heptonstall was looking good today!Attachment 4270
Heptonstall - more snowy scenes; looking over from my Leg 4 Reccie today. Fantastic. Can you spot Stoodley Pike? Will Calderdale Way Relay be effected if the view is the same next week?

Some more pics from around the village at registration and at the prize giving post race plus the last man in who was very happy to have made it round in one piece – well done!! http://flic.kr/s/aHsjzcaqbB
Can we see some pictures of the stitches to the two injured runners – understatement of the race from one of said runners at Lady Royd Farm heard to say, "I think I've cut myself" (you could actually see his shin bone).
P.S. I was taking to Trig earlier and he tells me that the race numbers (kindly provided by Up & Running Hudds) entitle each runner to a £10 off any shoe purchase over £70
