Unbelievable turn out last! I wasn't running after having gone over on my ankle at Midgley Moor on Saturday but quite enjoyed spectating for a change. I wet out to the end of the farm track to see everyone going down to the first river crossing, couldn't believe the queue at the stile!
Massive respect to everyone who raced after having done the Skyline the day before - hardcore!
Looking at the results there was actually a (married) couple from our Club who went down & ran it, as first-timers
Well done Maria & Adrian (254th/255th respectively)
I hope to see them tonight, at the 'club-run', & find out what they thought to it
Race 3 will be my first outing for quite a while,but looking forward to it!!
Going from the pics/'video', they appeared to have just sauntered around (didn't see them last night though)
However, the surprise (or is it now jealousy?) was Peter Davisons time (number '2222' member of 'Penistone', & 2nd claim of 'Durham University'?)
Normally him & me are a reasonable match, with us finishing within a minute of each other (normally me in front:wink: ), but now he's 'upped the ante' by blasting to an utterly superb 28:13
The git!!!!:angry:
(only joking, well done Peter!!! - you'll take some catching now!)
That was after completing the Skyline the day before.
If only he'd managed to do the second half of the skyline at the pace he did the first half. Passed him at Mamnick on Sunday and raced round about 20m behind Peter on Monday, he was obviously saving him self as I couldn't catch him though. bloody track fairies!)
