Weird. A timing error or something strange happening with their calculation waiting times for grouping? It sounds like you caught up with my group - the seven trickling in just adore eleven o'clock. Missing last orders is enough incentive to get round faster next year - if I have a second go at it.
"i, 27th, 2, me". I doubt anyone, other than thee, is bothered where you finished AS.Originally Posted by Antisocial
Probably something to do with waiting times for grouping, which are meant to be subtracted from the finishing time.
They do make mistakes with this, last year we had no deduction despite waiting for half an hour, but as wharfeego says, it doesn't really matter :-)
Yes that was us. Looks like about 100 dropped out, two of ours had to stop at Park Rash which was absolutely gutting for them to come so close. Unfinished business for them now so pretty sure we'll be back next year!
As long as i am bothered thats all that counts, it matters to me i worked for that result as did everyone else i am sure they would like to be correctly credited. Surprised you are advocating that people should be credited for times they did not achieve but i suppose thats a Wharfedaler for you.
Having relooked at the leader board the unofficial results, one of the names ahead of me and not in my group finished 20mins ahead which if i was him i would be a bit annoyed at being given a slower time. The other was 20 mins behind, if there is mathamatical explanation for this based on waiting times etc would be really interested to hear it.

I have the uptmost respect for people doing these kinda long distance runs, it must take some training for!!! Question though, does it totally devoid you of speed all the long long slow miles you must have to do in training? Just curious
That's the best comment I've heard for ages.
Organise a fell race and don't put the results up immediately - villified.
Next fell race results I do - names pulled out of a hat whilst the race is underway - save loads of time and effort.
Fabulous post!
Antisocialego, I'm not advocating that at all. It's the "me, me, me" that I'm pointing out and you are full of apres-race, me, me, me pap!
Hear, hear! It's the apres-race pap on this forum that I don't respect.
oh dear you seem to have caught a dose of Christopher Leighitis - completely missing the point (nor including it in your cut and paste) but carrying on regardless. If its that bad you always could take you camera and ball home like you have previously.
Either way my query has been answered by the organisers and it was down to the 2 before waiting 17 mins for group and then having a quick last 10 miles, so well done to them.
John, that you?! Piecing this together from your username and the fact I read on Facebook you'd run. It's Si here - 'I am Spartacus' 5 a side, last year's Nine Edges etc etc...
Of course if you aren't john then let's all just forget this embarassing post...
