Good stuff Robin - will probably be up around 4ish or so myself to get set up and do a few warm up laps
Awful nice of your wife - I'm "meant" to be a vegetarian but I think this could be a weekend off. I'll bring some sausages
Lakeland Warrior is definitly on. The 26Extreme lads were out a few days ago doing a recce of the course. It starts in Gortatole and basically heads due north through the forest almost to the Lower Lough Erne and loops back on itself. Over 5,000ft of gain - and some tight pulls. The lads haven't made the route public yet as it crosses over some private land - and they're just awaiting permission.
Yeah it's a bigger event this year Jim - especially with the relay. Reckon it'll make it a bit easier mentally with more folk on the track but harder to hold the tight inside lane if you're having to weave about alot.
thanks.........
good luck tomorrow/saturday to all..........
The race as usual was tough, couldnt believe how cold it was during the night but when sun came up , the heat was fierce but better than the wet.
I had set the 100 mile target and my focus this year was to give it my all, especially as I was raising money for my fathers charity.I was so pleased to get there with under 2 hours to spare.When I crossed the line I had no more notion of doing any more It was great to see so many achieve the 100 mile target.
Special mention to fizz for coming up to support and constant encouragement. I think it must be as tough being in support for 24 hours
I am not sure if I would a 24 hour race round a track again as I feel i have achieved my goal, maybe an off road version,but will support the race in some form next year
Greg well done on your first ultra great running hope its not your last
Frank nice to meet you well done great stuff
Finn thanks for your support during the whole race it was great,and I hope you are back running again soon.
I hope your legs and blisters are recovering.
Hope to see u next year..12 hour race for me I think.
You're an amazing bunch, some might say slightly mad, well done to you all.

Hi Folks
Do hope everybody is recovering well. Just to let ya's know that there's a video out there on YouTube - good old viewing - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoB1h4CJgIE&feature=channel_video_title
Frank doesn't feature in it as he was too busy laying with his feet up taking it handy
HI guys, Well done you all. Fab running. I was crying even more this year at the end than last year. I was so proud of you all.
Was tough during the night and ye did well to hang in there. It was my pleasure to help out. Hopefully I will get to run next year. I am still limping about so wont be on any marathon start lines any time soon. I have to say it was tougher on the sidelines. I thought the hours dragged on. If I hadnt done it last year it would have put me off for anything more than the 12 hours.
Hope you all get great mileage our of your distances ( excuse the pun) and bragging rights.
