Three Peaks Fell Race

[Chris]

chris is correct in saying if your not in just go and do another race
which i will
but i still say i dont agree that the race should be full before the 2008 calendar has been distributed

Sorry everyone. I didn't really mean to be so dismissive of those who are unhappy about the 3 peaks entries. But at least daz knows the point I'm making.

Surely it's the organisers perogative to use online entry and saying 'sometime in November' meant that those who were really keen checked the website daily, if the organisers had set a date there would have been even more of a 'feeding frenzy' on the day.
Postal entry would still have been oversubscribed and people would still have been upset at missing out. Online entry must save the organisers a huge amount of clerical work and so I expect we'll see more of it in the future.
The only 'problem' I can see is that the race is just too popular. Not sure what the answer to that one is.

BTW Just had a lovely run over Inglebugger this evening. Beautiful moonlit night, didn't need the headtorch most of the way and could see for miles.

Right, I've just got back from my jollies. 5 days in the Algarve - lovely.

When do entries open for this?

I'm afraid you'll have to count me out guys and gals. I had a bit of a mishap while out running this morning. I wasn't really looking where I was going, got stuck in a bog and to get out I had no option but to amputate one of my legs with the nail clippers I luckily had on me.
I reckon I'll be slowing you down too much on Tuesday. Have a good run anyway!

Are you trying to be the first full leg amputee to complete the 3 p's race?
