Thread: Three Peaks Fell Race

  1. #4021
    First attempt and it broke me, I was a shell of a runner upon reaching the summit of Ingleborough, the next 4/5 miles were horrendous, I hit the wall big time, I'd still be out there if it wasn't for the kind folk manning sulber nic checkpoint in fact all the marshalls were amazing, thank you to each and every one of them I was on jo buckley shoulder coming up Ingleborough, I bet she beat me by 20 minutes at least. ... great day though, I'll be back

    Well done!.

    1. The 3P is all in the head! If you got round you got round so your pacing was flawed or you would have stormed down from Ingleborough.
    2. Assume Ricky knows about pacing.
    3. For Ricky calculate as a % his cumulative split times based on his finish time.
    4. Repeat for self based on your finishing time
    5. Compare and contrast.
    6. Draw a conclusion!

    Great day out and the weather wasnt too bad for me, a couple of our clubs 4 hour+ runners mentioned some sleet on Ingleborough. Took a couple of tumbles on the lower descent off Ingleborough due to tiredness but pleased with a 20min pb of 3h36, all the training the last couple of months paid off.

    This year's marshals were even better than usual, despite the awful weather, always had a cheery word: sideways snow/hail reported on Ingleborough by some 4.20-50 finishers. I tried for a PB but never found a race so tough, sub 4 but only just!

    Above - agreed - new V70 record in those conditions was a highlight!

    5 hour finishers had it worst - probably our fault for being so slow

    Sideways sleet on Whernside and proper snow on Ingleborough !!
    Started bad for me, felt a recent hamstring niggle after only a mile or so and nursed it round, just tried to make the cut-offs and managed it, so under the circumstances chuffed to get round on 1 and a half legs

    Marshalls did a great job,always great to see the Sulber Nick ones :

    Hopefully get there next year ready to run properly for the first time in a few attempts.

    I did get carried away mid race but its hard not too when feeling so good, I was utter garbage coming off Whernside but that was due to be mincing about rather than being tired. I swear the change of terrain when encountering that god awful 'nic' section did towards the end did for me.... I think i'll go back to Horton in the summer for the veiws this time

    Of course. And I knew more about pacing the 3P after 10 of the things rather than after my first.

    But you have to really believe that the race doesn't start before Whernside and that all those heroes dashing past in the first half will come back to you in the second; and that everyone you pass on the long run in from Ingleborough will generate pure joy.

    Nothing feels as good in the 3P as crushing people's dreams as you cruise past them.

    That's pretty much what I did!! I than continued to Ingleborough in the same vein! However I was totally knackered coming into the field. I was a bit short of hill work in training though! Not sure I had anymore in the tank on this occasion!

    Thanks must go to all the Marshalls today who did a fantastic job in some awful conditions on the top of Wherside and Ingleborough and they all managed still to stay so cheerful. There seemed more marshalls out this year which was great ! I was behind a lady who fell crossing some very slippery rocks after the High Birkwith checkpoint she hit her face very hard on the rocks - I stopped to help and hope that she is OK and not too badly injured. Once I got to the top of Whernside I suffered terrible cramp and fell and a very kind male runner from I think Bingley ( had a blue and white striped vest on ! ) stopped and massaged my calf which allowed me to carry on and make the cut off at the Hill Inn - so thanks to him and hope he did not get too cold helping me and hope he too made the cut off . This just shows what a wonderful group of people fell runners are - always willing to help despite possibly hindering their own performance so thanks very much to him as I did not get his number.
    Just glad to finish and what a wonderful feeling to cross the line at such a well organised event.
