Cracking day for it, I struggled for pace in the second half which wasn't surprising given my longest run since last August has only been 13 miles and only 10 miles this year. Kept pulling away from BritNick only to be caught at checkpoints before he finally got well away from me after Ilkley Bottom. Looks like I finished half-way between Anonymouse & RachFR (in DP top?), finishing in 4:08 compared to 3:51 last year. Managed to stay on my feet but saw quite a few slips.

Thanks to all organisers/checkpoint marshals etc, missed the millionaires shortcake but the choc flapjack at Whetstone Gate was my fave goody.

Thanks to DinoF for the lift & also good to see plenty of forumites including the aforementioned BritNick, Karen Nash, Tussockface, Rob Furness, Fozzy, Martyn P & v briefly Chevinbytorchlight.
