A big thank you to all the helpers and for organising the sunshine so we could enjoy the finish outside for a change .

Hello to Ian Dark Peak
Hi Duracell good to run with you for a while however briefly before you pushed on. did you make your target time?

Also ran With Karen Nash for about 20 miles who was having quite a battle with Wendy D.
Well done to Zlod for his joint first place.

I came in just within my target time in 6.59 with Britnick only a few minutes behind. but it took a hard effort down that last road to do it.

conditions were very good warm and clear but cool in the breeze and very hard underfoot.

legs feel very tight this morning but fingers feel ok despite the blood letting.

My blood sugar samples varied wildly, I'm not sure how its measured (parts per million or percentage etc) but I started on 4.5 (pretty good) but it topped out at 7.9 (Vgood) and bottomed out at 1.8 mid race.

Bad cramp got me on the top of Stoodly and I had to stretch for a minute before climbing the monster stile

Enjoyed it more that I though I would and the Marshalls/food were excellent.

Only minor wimper is put the route out before race day please.
