Interesting time of the night, a certain amount of bravado and posturing!

It could all be down to actually getting there, this is the key issue given road closures and the access by road of Edale

Yes we train in these conditions, usually to and from our doorsteps and in training the pressure is off. In racing there is the cutting down of weight and pushing oneself harder than usual.

Yes plenty of time before the start to make the decision to run it, but in the conditions I am seeing out of my window in Glossop now I would not get my car out of the garage.
