The Ben Nevis Race

[The Sloth]

There seems to have been a Spanish invasion at the top end of the results! Is this usual?

Cheers Merry, will do the working hard bit but not good at suffering eh.
Just setting off for a slow drive back down south.

Safe journey home mate, and everyone else

I bet it was a brilliant race to watch even though the weather was utter Sh*t!

Are there any video's of the event? if it was possible in those conditions.

Well done everyone who ran. The tummy bug from hell kicked my chances of running into touch so, for the second year running, my place in the race was wasted*. At least I've run up the Ben a couple of times on my own this year so I know what the frigging mountain looks like.

* Just to head some quick to anger forum member (we seem to have one or two nowadays) off at the pass, although the place was 'wasted' on me, I emailed the organiser mid week and hopefully somebody else managed to replace me at the starting line.

Good effort Marrow .

Great day out even although the weather was a bit iffy. Did anyone make it back down to the Red Burn without taking a tumble? I think I bum-glided down most of the grass section.

Well done everyone great results, hope you all enjoyed yourselves, shame about the weather though.

Now you've got that lovely feeling in your quads to experience, should wear off by about Thursday!

Well done to all

I've found if you walk down (or slide on your bum involuntarily on the grassy bits) you dont get the quads problem! a lot of us last night in the pub were saying that it was so soft that our legs werent hurting - however others of 'us' can hardly walk today!!

I've got a simple target of 3:17 for next year to beat. however i wont be signing up for this again - and please you must all remind me of this come january! It is very very hard!
