I thought the wind this year was a lot less strong than last year, but it was more gusty and there were more sections where the wind was in your face.
Remember that last year, it was almost impossible to stand up straight, never mind run with the wind coming across you going up Whernside. I couldn't stay on the side of the path I was trying to. This year I had no problems.
I was taking off my hat and gloves/putting them back on again more times than I could count! The temperature difference between the peaks and the valleys was amazing (especially coming off PYG).
Personally, I am still bouncing off the walls! 41mins quicker than last year, although a huge chunk of that was accounted for the fact that last year I was vomiting all the way up Ingleborough. This year, I struggled on the same peak (especially the run-off - with cramp after running London last week), but wasn't ill this year, so enjoyed it a great deal more!
Club mate had an even better run - taking 28mins off his time last year to go sub-4. An absolutely stunning run!
