    I'm going over for this i think. My result in 2011 was 55.19, but this was a pre covid result and i'm tempted to scratch all pre covid PBs and begin again. If i can get under an hour that will do for a post covid race.

    Well done Luke, under an hour - target accomplished :-)

    Let me know, anyone, if you spot any mistakes before the results go off to the FRA website.

    I was chasing a wharfedale vest all the way round and never caught him. Think It may have been you? I came in dead on the hour.

    Happy enough with my run but after a long time out of the game and just plodding about on my own I often forget how hard racing is 🤮

    Quite a stressful journey over thanks to a bunch of people who I think call themselves the Ilkley round table. Basically they can't organise an event that doesn't involve multiple road closures, having to pass through that town is like having sand thrown in my eye.

    Thanks, Bill, I think the dibbing points cost me about 30s, they were waving around a lot. Ricky, it probably was me looking at the results.

    It was a horrible race for me, the word fatigue springs to mind. Running with this post viral thing is like towing a scooter tyre behind you, my legs burn up so fast now and I've got nothing for the runnable climbs, I just stagger along. I've got intermittent chest pains too which is inconvenient.

    Ah cool, good to put a face to a forumite, will say hello next time, although I dont really race much these days. Sorry to hear you weren't feeling great, wishing you a speedy recovery

    Oh FFS, it's on again, the carnival by the looks of it. Road closures on both sides of the river.

    See you there Luke. I'll be doing registration and results as usual.

    Thanks to Billj and all the volunteers, a record turnout of 207 apparently. It was a PB for me by a couple of minutes, though comparing with last year's splits shows the waterlogged middle section after the pike was quite slow. I was swapping places with a guy in a yellow vest quite a lot, every time i got past him he'd do me on the next uphill, so i had to plan ahead a bit. I kept my powder dry until the gentle downward slope off the moor began on the run in, then just burned past him over the tricky stuff hoping he wouldn't bother to go with me; he didn't. I didn't think i'd get past the next 3 as the latter stages of the descent are single file, that was until they took a wrong turn in the woods! I stopped immediately and backtracked to the race route, costing me no more than a few seconds.

    People are starting to ask me if i'm 'that guy who wrote that thing in the fellrunner', so i'm famous now. 57.50 for me, unlucky for dan gilbert just missing out on the top 10.
