It,s a miracle my legs are working again! Thanks to all the marshalls on the 2nd half for their patience and I hope the wind burn doesn't last long. Thanks also to the two ladies that put the pressure on me to keep going. Good organisation guys & girls. How about this deal for next year, fill in the gap between Win Hill & Lose Hill or scrape a bit off the top of Lose Hill then I might a more than a few seconds to spare at Mam Nick. Great day out
I wonder if Steve T would do some clever technical stuff with the results like he did last year and work out the positions at each checkpoint?
Hmmm - somehow I wasn't all that interested in the splits this year as I wasn't running. However,Originally Posted by Marvin
I'll take a look ... if they're in the usual SI form and reasonably clean I'll probably be able to do something.
Thanks Marv!

Thanks Steve and thanks for your encouragement as I reached your spectating point on Mam Tor:
"You've blown it now Swoop. You'll have to do the second half!"
And thanks Manhar although I think you did a lot better than I did. Well done!

Steve. This is excellent stuff, checked against a few runners and it really shows where I struggled and when I was came back at the end.
And a superb training aid. You think you don't want to lose places so try too hard too soon. Hang back for a bit longer and you will cut through the field.
A salutory lesson for the 3P's
Steve, that's fantastic, and so quick. I'm really grateful. Now, if you could add an indicator to tell us who did the down and up it would be even better!
Thats excellent SteveT - I can now see me 120th at Win Hill, 124th at Hope, 142nd at Lose Hill and 182nd at Mam Tor before retiring. A map of a race going completely down the toilet.
I knew I started slowly but not that slowly (198th at Hope)! However, very chuffed to see I made up over 50 places by the time I got to Grindslow (144th) and only dropped a handful after then. So next year it's go a bit quicker from the off, sort out problems with bum bags, drinks bottles (stopped on the way to Win Hill) and shoe laces (stopped at Mam Nick), work on going down hill (all over the course) and who knows I may be looking at something much closer to four hours.
Cheers - Raymond
