Three Peaks Fell Race

[Brotherton Lad]

Looks like there'll be a gang of us around the 4:30-4:45 area. I'm also going for a steadier start after getting to Ribblehead too quickly last year and then rapidly working my way backwards through the field.

Starting to get excited again about this. Whatever the critics say, this is always a very special race for me.

4:22 in 2008. Last year I was up Pen-y-ghent in virtually the same time as the year before but then the wheels fell off. I couldn't deal with the heat and came in at 4:43. I would love to do 4:15 this time but a lot depends on the conditions on the day.

Did anyone else see the advertisement in the metro newspaper yesterday? Was advertising the 3 peaks, quite surprised at that.

yes, I've just cut it out and I'm gonna pin it on the club notice board tonight to annoy our road runners !:thumbup:

[Manhar]

The entry list is out! We have our numbers! :w00t:
999 runners....only 168 ladies!
16 days to go!
(nice to see Al Fowler on the list! )
Hope you make it Manhar!

Will be good to see you MG, Leeds Rhino - Back running so will have to see how this weekends training runs progresses. Hopefully work on the principle that the race will be a long training run & I know I will be on my feet for up to 5 hrs - so if any 4:45 kids want an amble your more than welcome to join me

4:22 in 2008

Was it you who beat me by 0.06 of a second? Or did I beat you by 0.02?

Ah. Got my years mixed up. It was 2009 that I was 4:22:51.

I prefer to forget about 2008, had to retire after Pen-Y-Ghent

Just received the 2008 race on DVD ...thought it would make a nice keepsake and to remind me what I've got to do in a few weeks! :w00t:

[Rob Furness]

I got that as well MG, unfortunately it shows more of the climbs and not much descending (which would be my favourite bits to watch). That said it's still a good DVD

Ahh I remember coming off PYG and loads of people passing me...I have to confess I'm a right girl on the downhills!
My fave bit is the climb upto Ingleborough where I usually pass people again! :thumbup:
Looking forward to watching it and someone said I'm on it for about a millisecond at the start!
