Turned out nice in the end.
Great day out on a classic course.
Thanks marshalls and checkpoint crews.
The star of the show ? Jess the 9 month old springer spaniel who ran the whole course in around 5.20 with her owners !! A beautiful dog. Not sure whether she's a little young for that distance mind ?
Saw you walking down as i was driving up to the school after, daren't stop in case i got clamped and didn't have time to get the window down. Nice to meet Britnick today. Someone left a makeshift dog lead at Mankinholes, the dog was a Cocker Spaniel but i don't know who the bloke was, if it was yours i can post it to you if you PM me.
This was my first ultra, absolutely loved it despite the pain! :thumbup:Managed to sample the legendary delights of the checkpoints: hotdog (with brown sauce)- check, Jura whiskey dram at mankinholes - check and an unbelievably delicious donut just before the killer climb at top o stairs - check. Came in at 6:35, not fast but very, very satisfying! I might even have a chance of finishing the fellsman now!![]()
Once again a great race Brett. Especially liked your start instructions: "well its 8 o'clock, so get out of here everybody!". Thanks again.
The gingery spaniel who's lead you've got was 2 year old bitch. Might have been called Jess, but aka Monkey if that helps?
The Jura malt whiskey proved to have the same effect as marmite, dividing the field 50:50 between those who loved it and those who turned green at the very thought :-0.
