I got to Honister at 1710 and he was already on his way up Dale Head!

Wowzers! A new record, by a long, long way - absolutely amazing stuff!
Awesome achievement
Got to Keswick and the market square was pretty busy. By the time he arrived there were close to a thousand there. Chatting to Billy Bland he said there were just six there at the finish when he posted his time.
Unofficially 12:52, there may be a minute plus or minus.

Without me you'd be one place nearer the back
The run is up in Strava for anyone interested in the stats.

And he was still getting top 10 in segments up to Honister on a ‘morning run’. If only I’d not had the garden bench to fix...
Incredible. A suitably awesome effort to top Billy's legendary marker. Will it ever be beaten? Surely no-one in the UK at the moment could get anywhere near it, and it's probably a little esoteric for other big world names to have a pop.
