talking To Dave tonight and he said there is about 300 more pictures to go on...!

15 minutes faster for me this year, but after a rubbish winter of endless colds and chest infections, I suspect that all of that improvement was down to the perfect ground.

I'm surprised how many people are totally wrecked today, regardless of their position in the field. My theory is that we all went way quicker than we'd planned - I kept telling myself to slow down on the first half, sadly the legs didn't listen and then they fell off somewhere after Brown Knoll!

Rich, I have spent the last 2 years trying to work out who you are and then I had an epiphany running over lords seat. stupid really when you're friend on my Face book page! Doh. Well at least I think you are.

My legs are ok, nealy got a PB tonight at the Trunce, quite a few ES runners there.

I've only done this race twice, but on both occasions a good portion of the field go like the clappers for the first 5 miles hit the climb on the other side and start walking, then presumably staggering from Brown Knoll onwards.....seems like a 5 mile fell race strategy followed by some awful war of attrition ?

I always walk the first climb, it's far too early to run, ran from the top until I caught Judith up then stuck with her for the next 3 miles she ran away from me going Lose Hill although she was never out of sight until the end.
