2 h 40 m 33 s

What a lovely day for a run. Hard work but I enjoyed it.

well done slowcoach, beat me by 2.5 minutes, but you are 10 years younger!!

2.43 for me

[Harry H Howgill]

An excellent race good to meet so many people from the forum

You must have the knack of spotting forumites. I didn't spot anyone - sorry! I'll wear a red carnation next time.

A great day though. Sunburnt shoulders, cramping legs up Cat Bells. I did a double take as Angela Mudge crossed the finish line. What a great performance knocking 4 minutes off the ladies record.

I must recce the line across Maiden Moor properly - I was all over the shop. Must have lost some time there. Loved all the descents though. Did anyone else go round the right hand side of the tarn? I was lucky to find a grassy line all the way there. Thanks to all the organisers and marshalls. I was roasting out there and they were wearing all their woolies on the tops.

Wonderful to hear the cowbell too.

Fantastic day - really lovely day, excellent food, cakes, tea!!

But I have a confession I'm REALLY REALLY SORRY, I dropped an SCS sports bottle between Highspy and Catbells - there wasn't that much left and I only realsied when I got to catbells needing a drink!!
I'M NOT A LITTER LOUT - honest -(despite what Milli said ) I have all my empty wrappers in my bum bag and everything

Great day, Thanks Steve & Wynne! Big Thanks, to the marshalls, it must be really frustrating have to wait for us last few runners

Didn't know who the majority of formites were . Introduced to Mud, GeoffB, and saw a few others that i've met previously

Nice to catch up with Jamie and Catherine last night, not sure what happened to the statement of only having 2 pints of guiness Jamie
