Does anyone know how the guy doing the Youtube training diary got on? I saw him at the start and once or twice arund the course but didn't get a name or a race number. Hope he did ok, or was at least pleased with his performance.
How did you get on pb.
On my ascent of Gt Knoutberry I saw him coming slowly down. Had a quick chat and he said his leg was sore and getting worse. At Redshaw I saw him slumped in a chair, I guess it was game over.
The YouTube guy got further than expected then. I spoke to him on the way out of ingleton and he was planning to get to Dent and make a decision then. I saw him leaving Stonehouses, then chose to withdraw myself.
I'm sure there'll be a summary video on YouTube soon.
Fantastic event. Just need to get to the finish!
Amazing, what a fantastic event!
I underestimated the mental fortitude required to get round on your own and was very glad to hook up with Denzil and his mates at Stonehouses. top guys and a real pleasure to spend the rest of the day with. Had a major wobble going over FM & MT but felt fresh as a daisy after fresh socks at Cray! Finished in 17:26
We were told that the new MT CP added 1.5 miles, but I suppose that depends whether you chose the southern route or the road route.
I'll get a full report on the P&B website as soon as my brain has recommenced full activity.
Anti - I only saw you at the start! you were long gone by the time i got to checkpoints - I think I might have caught a fleeting glimpse of you coming down off Whernside. great time by the way.
What a great race... very well organised and supported. especially at those remote checkpoints.. managed a time of 17hrs 36mins which im happy with for my first Fellsman. Thanks to Ruth, Pete and Kat who i grouped up with at Cray.. enjoyed a good run in from there with them. Well done everyone that completed..
That's roughly what we worked out when we accidentally went more-or-less that way last year
Whats left to say a brilliant day for me. Started running last May and got around in 15hrs 20mins. Lakeland 50 next bring it on.
you must have been walking with/around us for quite a while. There was a group of 4 lads (me) and a group of 7 with you guys over Buckden/Gt Whernside, until you shot off after the GW CP. We had met Kat earlier on in the day.
well done.
