on the plus side I really enjoyed the whole atmosphere of the event. the support was amazing and the organisation very slick. still need to cogitate on whether I like the route...

big respect to the marshal at the top of Whernside. I think I could hear him at Ribblehead and he certainly dragged me up the last section.

consoling myself with some beer. see here

@BehindYou = I loved the cowbells!
Well I joined that club too, DNF for me too!
Gave up at Hill Inn, nothing left in legs. Legs hadn't mended after a w/e in the lakes last w/e.
Enjoyed the day, it is a beast of a race!!
