Three Peaks Fell Race

[Datt]

I'm flipping walking!!!!!!!!!

Me too!

[Jez Hellewell]

What a disgrace ! I didn't see one person run up Whernside either ! Wimps !

actually a camera mounted on the steep bit near the top would be a good shot but I bet it doesn't look that steep on a film.

Wharfee ?

Are you implying there's a less steep bit somewhere? No wonder you did sub 4.

The thing is about John Brown's tumble is that at that stage of the race, if that had been me, my whole body would immediately cramped up and I would have been left walking for at least 5 mins. He just bounced off as if nowt had happened. I stubbed me toe a couple of times from Sulber Nick and that was enough to trigger the leg convulsions and walk mode.

I'm better of sticking to Tri's ... oh I forgot I'm also c*ap at them.....

I second that and a thousand apologies to the runner who tried to say a few words of encouragement to me after the Inglebugger CP. At that precise moment I clipped my foot on a gryke (or is it a clint?) which set off the cramp and I screamed something unpleasant in his right ear. He must have thought he'd collected a right nutter.

Ian,

It would look like this. Somehow I don't think I looked like Jebby when I came up there though.

I went over around sulber, I managed to get someone to pull me up before the cramp hit, arm still stiff now.

I was beggining to wonder if I had actually done the race (apart from the fact that my legs really hurt, reminding me that I had) as I couldn't find myself on any of the pictures. Finally found a picture of a bit of me! No wonder I found it so hard - I am a midget! (I'm the one behind the two guys......!!) ((sorry I can't work out how to make the picture bigger unless you click on it))

Ist time for doing this race and I thoroughly enjoyed it - I just managed to scrape round without getting timed out - which was fine considering the amount (or rather lack!) of training I had done. I was very impressed with the organisation and thought the whole day was fantastic. Thanks to all involved. (Although I too, did not hear when the minutes silence was supposed to start).
