High Peak Marathon

The guys will be the first to agree they were not in the shape they should have been. you are entitled to your opinion about them and what happend but think that it should be done in a fair mannor. It was in fact my place that you took at the last minute this year. unfortunately i had been working away and had no chance of training for this years event. These things happen when you join a team at short notice. I myself have had to join a team with only a couple of weeks notice and its the risk you take when doing so that they are pretty much guaranteed to be either faster or slower than you. I totally love this event and and am always happy to follow when joining others fo it. I hope you eventually get your own place, i will be doing everthing i can to get a start come March.

Totally agree with all of that. The team last year did advertise though saying that they'd been in training 30 miles a week and they hoped to complete in 12 to 13 hours and I joined them on that basis. I suspect both of those statements were "slight" exaggerations . All the same don't get me wrong, it was still fantastic fun. I just feel I'm due a bit of luck this time round in getting my own team in. Best of luck with the draw and hope you get in too.
