Bad weather must have kept the number of tourists down which must have made things a bit less congested near the top!

Really well organised, great race, quieter on hill, but use of railway and loads more marshalls on the hill made a massive difference.

Good conditions, wet track didn't really slow the descents, a fair few sub 25 descents. Had a poor climb, but descended better. 1:19, after 1:20 in 2008 and 2009...consistent..

Good descent Iain. I see Blakey did his usual - 286 at the top 212 at the finish!

Someone yelled "Go on, Tussock!" just as I started the descent. My eyes were firmly fixed on the ground and I managed to croak out "Cheers!" but didn't see who it was. Please make yourself known!

It was I. Recognised your devilish good looks from Langdale last year

Also, glad to hear that Dylan Wales didn't break his arm on the way down but got a free ride on the train!! Diawl diog!!

Bugger ! I hope Dylan is ok. I was chatting to him before the start and saw him when he was going down. He looked to be going well. Perhaps a little to well ? Let us know you're ok Dylan.

Morning all,
I enjoyed the race as well, I ran most of the way up, apart from 3/4 of allt moses and all of goch, something I haven't done before, albeit at a slow pace, struggled a bit on way down, from halfway house, cramping, I was hoping for under 2hrs, managed 2:02.

Nightingale, I must have been right with you on the top as you were a mere 10 seconds ahead of me but you must have flown down.

Hope Dylan is ok, I saw him coming down and he looked to be going well.
