Well I hope Al Powell(3567) has not gone off too fast. Stephen Pike(14) and Mark Harrtel (2595) look to be sticking together for now qith a more reasonable pace.

Why is he only doing the fun run?...
Saz is 5th in the ladies at the moment...
Al just went through in 3rd at Chap he looks to be with a group of 5 or 6 with second 3 or 4 mins in front but the leader is well up, 15 mins clear and still pulling away.
James Archbold looks to be the next brit I can see in 55th at the moment..
Dont know wether to stay up and wait for the next update or not, it will be some time the next checkpoint is another 10km and 1000m of climb away... Still I have a marathon to watch on the box....

Methinks it's a different Simon Booth.

Unless Si has moved to St Gervais and has suddenly aged.
Didn't think it would be his cup of tea.
and now
Decisive move in the mens race Marco pulling out 20 mins on the leg up to Bovine and the Yank Karl Meltzer loosing an hour on the leg!!
Just hope Al can hold it together to the finish.
Alun Powell finished 8th.
Yes looks like he had a storming finish as quick as anyone for the last strech. I though it would be touch and go for the 24 hours from the checkpoint before but he was 9 mins inside and overtook two people on the last bit. He should be happy, it's the first event of this distance he has done, he has been putting in the miles for it though, so deserves a good result.
My form better come around or I don't stand a chance of keeping up even if he carries everythiong in the OMM...
