Just got the results through
and my coffin checkpoint card, battered thugh it was
However, it is your story, and I feel for you, well done for what you did.
Oddly enough most events I enter involve rain. The weather had not realised I had pulled out.
Are you going to Dublin in that knowledge? (although it was dry though cold last year)
:-)
As a beginner to all this stuff - first half in September (fingers crossed) - could I be fit for it, bearing in mind I have a family to distract me from training.
Used to do fell walking as a teenager - nothing to long though.
Beanz52 - based on my very limited experience, I'd encourage you to give it a go - I only did a half-marathon for the first time in March 2003, then three more halves over the next year and just one full mara three weeks before Lyke Wake (and I'm a 50-year old female slug)
alarming to be dq for being too fast (unimagineable!)
Sluggie, i think you ought to mention all your ski races and so on-makes a diference
sluggie - is yours a sea slug? a lot more picturesque than the ones I picked off the garden this evening
Though come to think of it, grey and slimy post LW, more like a garden slug

Hippo - I hope you don't mind but I suggested he use your race report which was a work of art. (If you do mind let him know)
its public property byvirtue of being on this site
more mud today--ooooh I DO smell;)
Well that's a relief Hippo (and I don't mean the mud!!)
Coz your report and TroggyB's picz are at
www.richk.co.uk/LykeWake/LykeWake.htm
Hope you like them . . and if any of you have other pictures from the day/weekend I'd be happy to put them up with these
I will have some photos to add but I need to get the film processed and then scanned
Thought I'd keep out of your way until you had partially recovered.
Seriously, I have had a weeks leave following the race and have been nowhere near the computer. Congratulations to all that finished. Commiserations to those less fortunate.
Hippo
I think you did brilliantly considering the conditions. Pity you had to stop so close to the end. You probably don't realise how close you were. From Whitby road is only about 2.5 miles and the going is probably the easiest on the walk. Still there's always next year if you recover in time.
Anyone who entered this year will receive applications for next years event automatically. Anyone else wants one let me have a name and address and I'll put you on the mailing list.
Can't guarantee G&T for everyone if there are a lot of entries.
Yes, unfortunately I DID know how closei was to the end, which made it worse
But my dad had been hangign around since 5, he could see everyone packing up and was worried sick about me
It would not have been fair on him to make him wait another hour
I will need to practice fell running before i do this again, and also coquer my pathological fear of downhill
Sometimes i even get scared going downstarirs;)
Loved my G and T tho, tis now a Hippo tradition
is there are list of other races inthe area 20 miles +
