I'm surprised how many 'DNFs' there were (thought I was the only one considering quitting, & everyone else was toughies!)

I think I got fed up explaining about my dicky ticker but heres an update. I ended up spending the night in Sheffields Northern General Hospitals Cardiac Ward after the condition I had during the start of the race continued through the day I felt like a pin cushion with needles and electrodes all over my body. I had Atrial fibrillation Any how they pumped me full of drugs and was well enough to come home a short while ago. I won't be racing though for a week or two....maybe:wink:

All the best for a speed recovery Ian, hope you running again soon.

I had Atrial fibrillation

Interesting list of symptoms on that link...

Symptoms may include:
Pulse that feels rapid, racing, pounding, fluttering, or too slow
Pulse that feels regular or irregular
Sensation of feeling the heart beat (palpitations)
Shortness of breath
Confusion
Dizziness, light-headedness
Fainting
Fatigue

I thought most of the others were just symptoms of fellrunning!

A bit unnerving that watching yourself run on camera. Had I known the camera was there at the finish I would have tried to look a little less desperate

Great route though and the route changes from when I last did it made it a lot better towards the end of the race. That last small hill was punching well above its weight by the time I dragged my tired legs to it

[Rudolph Hooker]

Feeling VERY jealous reading all these posts after my nightmare, I can't remember the last time I retired, possibly Tankys in 06 but at leas that time Imade it half way and not a very poor 1 mile.

Good to see so many of you there though and that made up for it alittle.

Hi There IDP,

I wondered where you were! Me & Mrs Hooker were waiting at the top of Laddow with young Willie from DPFR - I think he had a strimmer in his rucksack for some reason!!

Just make sure you get better, OK?

Cheers,
RH

anybody know what happened 'up front' - the report says danny hope was leading with lloyd at checkpoint 1 and then was overhauled by pete vale at laddow rocks - then what??

[TurboTom]

At the bootom of laddow pete had about 5 seconds on lloyd and the hopes, then about 10 secs further back was karl, kay, pearce and the noo. By the top they were all within 5 secs of each other

I'm so glad he missed me, but then again, the film had probably run out by the time I got back!
(far too many pics though, as I'm trying to uncover my race number for the time-keepers)

Do you mean the one on Cartworth Moor Road (on the unmade section before turning left into finish), or that damned wall covered in Ferns above (is it?) Riding Wood?
