Zeno its not the distance you need to be worried about or the cut off. In fact after the first bastard climb most of the first half is a glorious run with a fantastic, all gradual down hill, 4 mile descent along the whole length of Pendle Hill before a small to middle-ish climb and then a cliff like plunge (Geronimo) into Ogden Clough and checkpoint 4. After that though there are a further 4 climbs with the last two up Stile and then Big End complete killers.
