Get well soon AG, and love the hat. (There are a few other photos on Flickr of the race, before I got distracted by AGs acrobatics, and then by the pub)

I will echo what AG has said about the race organisation. Marshals were on the scene almost immeadiately, extra clothing, in what was distinctly nippy weather, shortly after. Everybody was in touch with the organiser, who was able to organise a speedy rescue. I suppose the moral is, if you want to get injured, pick a Tod Harriers race

Can't decide if I'm laughing or cringing in agony in that picture! Either way I look like one of the chuckle brothers!

I really enjoyed todays race apart from having to stop THREE times to tie my bl00dy laces.

I fell for my first time in a race today too, after catching my foot about 3 times (not lifting it high enough) and getting really frustrated with myself, I landed funny and my leg bent at a funny angle, but luckily it was just a tumble and I was right back up. It happened just after you get to the top the first time and it was only when I stopped at the finish it started hurting.

I came home in 310th position but Ian Holmes knew I was closing on him. I'll get you next time Ian

Excellent race and a super turnout, well done EVERYONE! Pencilled in for next year.


Well done to the kids too. I thought they were all great. My lad (in the U8's) lost his shoe just before the finish and hopped over the finish line to complete his first fell race.

A tip I picked up from orienteering: use a bit of insulating tape to tie your laces together after you've done them up.

Hope your leg sorts itself soon Andy

Ouch!

AG -best wishes for a full recovery. There were many tumbling yesterday.

This is a reminder is it not to those who turn out almost naked to have enough with them to stay warm when injured?

Not directed at you AG, but you cannot expect people to hand over their warm clothing then run on for another 20/40 minutes. The first 'A' long I did, I had the piss taken for having a largish rucksack (by a marshall), but my attitude is that you look after yourself and stay warm if it goes pear shaped.

Ok my friend,your point is taken.

As a spectator only on Saturday at the Shepherds Rest (pint in hand of course) i heard very quickly of the the 'knee injury' at the pike. I also watched some chap in a red cag (organiser??) in the pub inform someone else by phone that mountain rescue were on their way through hebden bridge,ambulance was there as well and the marshals were with the unfortunate runner.

It all appeared quite in hand and i duly ordered another pint.

Many thanks to all who took part in and organised the race.

What a beautiful sport.

Ive submitted my report to all news agencys....there wasnt much interest.

The speed i've seen you descend Baz, the pub was the best place for you yesterday! How noble of you to attend and sample the atmosphere/ales (being injured)- I gave up having failed to get near enough to the bar to see what the beer was.

Good luck with the comeback from injury.

What a great race. I did it in the mid 60's but thought I should have been faster.

So Wood how old are you now if you did this in the mid 60's

AG......hope you have a speedy recovery

[pauljonesforengland]
