Ria, nice to meet you on Saturday. I reckon if you went minamalist next year and got a few practise hill runs in you would make the cut off. Shorts, tshirt and small bum bag (you can probably buy pink ones) would do it. Put up with the cold and it will make you run faster. Now I've done the corse I think it would be difficult to get lost, even on you're own, it's all paths. Hopefully see you at another race soon.

What a great race! Wasn't sure I was going to start this one with putting my back out the night before the start - typical!
Anyway got on with it and happy with 2hr 5'n half min first effort. Sub 2hours next year's on. Thanks to everyone concerned.
Nightingale, I did actually get a bit lost!! I drifted off the path for a while when it got really foggy & wet!!
Being slow, & not coming with anyone, I felt I should bring enough clothing & water to look after myself in case of emergencies. Last year I saw no water stations as I was so slow they had gone, so I wanted to carry enough water to see me through if it was hot.
I have a bumbag, though sadly not pink! Maybe I'll risk it next year as a rucksack is annoying!
I feel my ankle is up to more training now. Have had to be careful running on rough ground for a few months.
Some pictures of the race here?

Great pics! There's even one of me. Now there's a first.....I'm normally so far behind that the race photographer has packed up & gone to the pub......
I know the feeling well! Hope you make the cut off next year and I admire your perseverence
