Think that was me that gave you the drink on top of Ingelbugger Raymond. You looked to be in a bit of pain! Get some Nuuns tablets fr next time. They are excellent at stopping cramp (that's what you drank) just add one to 500ml of water.
Did my best time of Inglebugger yesterday 42 mins !! Must have been tossing it off for the rest of it.!!
Re: Three Peaks 2009
you had an absolute storming run Merry, looked fresh as a daisy afterwards, well done. I lost the valves from my drinks tube on the way up pg so had some ground to make up. After reaching top og PG 2mins quicker than last I eased off abit but somehow lost 10 mins on reaching RH. Think it may have been the stile queing? Felt ok up Wernside but went over on one of my glass ankles whilst descending so ran with that for a while. Once I made the hill inn cut-off I seemed to chill abit too much. From Ingleb, I started to go for it and counted 7 people I overtook before slipping and bringing on total cramps in both legs. I tried to run through but could only manage a walk whilst about 8 folk took me.Originally Posted by merrylegs
Me or Mudlugger
Had a good un today, never ran the race before and my fastest time round the walkers route was 5h 10m, finished in 4h 32m 42s, no cramp and felt reasonably good after, just faded a bit coming off Inglebugger, but the support out there was great, thanks all
What happened to Stolly? Saw him bent over, coming off PYG, talking to Ady and never saw him again
It was then I decided to just get off inglb without falling and didnt really go for it until the final field going under the bridge, managing a final 100yrd sprint too.
Not sure I'll be doing another long distance, think I'll stick medium.
Thanks to all supporters who woke me up at various points enroute: mrs stagger, manhar.
Hello Denzil - I was in a black and orange vest, so if it was you with the drink many many thanks. I've heard about these Nuun tablets elsewhere so will definitely give them a go.Think that was me that gave you the drink on top of Ingelbugger Raymond. You looked to be in a bit of pain!

i had a bottle of Nuun waiting for me at the top of whernside and i was getting the cramps and i drank it on the way down and the cramps more or less went.
tho' i have a couple of very black toenails this morning and i reckon I am going to lose them? this has never happenned before. possibly because the ground was so hard?
anyway dont care as i am off to Turkey tomorrow morning for a week
I carried 500ml of water with a nuun and had a 2 more 500ml bottles, one at Ribblehead and the other at the Hill inn, no cramp during the race
Them Nuun's are a godsend
Enjoy Turkey, with or without toenails!
cheers Merrylegs
