[RichardB]

cheers - fell it is then, hate my trails shoes anyway :-)

Certainly hope it's faster (and warmer!)

Last year I did PPP in 3:19, this year did Trigger in 3:43. Felt about the same at the start of both (fit, fairly fresh but not overly). 2 very different races though.

I'm in again...I think. Found it tricky to find the requisite races!! Not done much long fell stuff recently having turned slighty towards the longer stuff...Hardmoors, Bullock Smithy etc. Did Dresden Marathon but not in the 3hr 20m required!!? Seems a bit fast to be the qualifying time at 3hr 20min. I'm not too quick at 3hr 45min but can still get round Three Peaks in a good bit under 5 hrs.

I'm in the same boat Iain. I haven't done any fell races of the required distance in the past 2 years but have probably run around the 3 Peaks 16 or 17 times in that period. Hopefully my HPM and Fellsman and Lakes in a Day completions will count...

Just out of curiosity, also thinking ahead to next year, but what are the previous race requirements to enter this? I might have to knuckle down if I want to tick this classic.

Any of these mate;

Thanks Calvin. Having not done any of the above, it gives me a focus for some of this years training & racing.
