UTLD - Lakeland 100 2015

[stevefoster]

I'm marshaling next year, so I shall cheer you all on

Which CP? I'll give you a shout

[Fishy]

No idea - probably won't find out until nearer the time. I'll post it on here when I do.

[Stagger]

Sold out (?) in less than an hour or is it because it seems many people have paid many times

Either way, I only paid once so guess that means I'm IN!

I know someone who paid 26 times for the 100 and was not even on the entry list.

PS
Only £4 for must BOFRA's true fell running

Have dropped back down to the 50 for next year for a PB attempt. Will also be marshalling at Wasdale Head. Don't get much sleep in those tents the night before anyway so may as well make myself useful!

something to look forward to then as i am in again to complete unfinished business

Good news

Mrs Stagger is now on the entry list.

Just hope out of the 26 attempted payments only 1 has been processed and the other £2250 be wiped off or credited back to our accounts.

As this will be my first 100 my goal is simply to complete it. This will mean two nights on the go. What would people recommend re sleep? Just keep on plodding or try and have half an hour cat nap somewhere?

Also I will be able to do a couple of days doing reccies am I best doing the night sections or are there any sections during the day that need a reccie?

My recommendation based on experience is to have a relaxing week in the lead-up with as much sleep as you can handle. Don't do a long journey on the Friday before the evening race start. It's much better to travel up on Thursday, get a good night's sleep and relax on Friday before the start. Then during the race, keep going all the way through until you've finished. There should be no sleep or hallucination issues.

For me the most important bits to recce were from Buttermere to Braithwaite and from Ambleside to the finish. Do it in daylight and make notes so you can picture your bearings in the dark on race day.

Good luck. It's a tough one to pick for a first 100.
