Thank you. But it was anything but easy. Its the steepness of those three big hills which makes this round so hard

Hi Jason. Thanks for the kind comments. Their website says you receive a tea round badge on submission of your evidence of the run. I've only just submitted my data. So waiting now

Thanks Kev

Thank you for your comment. Yes. Its your mind that will stop you reaching the finish more often than not

Thank you

Thanks Ian

Thank you.

The 110 if a fantastic event. You will enjoy it.

Thank you. another attempt this June

Its a nice way to remember the day. It does take time to edit all the clips. But worth it and to share to others who can benefit from seeing what events are like. Good luck with the video's

Joanna. Thank you for those kind words. I will be giving it a good go in 2024.

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

Thankyou. I am fortunate to know the route. I am often support runner for the recces. Which you should try to get on whhen they are announced. The route is self navigation but the roadbook (you can also download this from the website) you receive at the start is better than the map. But you do get given a route marked map as well. Don't let this phase you. There are a couple of bits you have to concentrate on with navigation. but generally is not that bad. I have four recce videos. Only Buttermere to Dalemain missing. I probably started about 150th place and was never alone. Over the second half the 100 runners will be spread out but you have the company of the 50 runners. If you don't get to Dalemain before they start, you will catch people up. Good luck. See you on the start line.

Thank you for those kind works. I really appreciate the compliment. I will be giving it another go next year.

That's great news, I'll be there for the 100 too. I'll make sure I say hello. Good luck with the training. Cheers Lee 😃👍🏻

Mookie. Thankyou. Yes the route is self navigation but the roadbook (you can also download this from the website) you receive at the start is better than the map.

I have four recce videos. Only Buttermere to Dalemain missing. But there are others. Good luck in the ballot and hopefully we will cross paths.

Kim. Thank you. Its always good to give. In fact I actually get more out of helping rather than running events. But I will be giving it another go next year

Thankyou. I will be on that start line next year.

Thanks for the kind comments. I gave it my best but my body just didn't work. I will be back in 2024

Thank you

Well done for the entry. Its a great event.

Thank you

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks Matt

Thanks. Hopefully moving forward now. 👍

The second half is more testing than the first loop with the more testing being the second half of the second loop. There are less trails but a bit of tarmac work. Its worth the extra effort to do the full marathon. Get our and do a recce on the second half if you can. Good luck

Thanks Tim. I didn't see anyone I knew But it was good the see the Hardmoors group photo on the page. I agree with it being as hard as the 55

I could't not put you in You was part of my journey.

@jimmys60ny. I had done loads of treatment on my feet on the run up to the event so I was quite surprised to get so many. I could have carried on with just the blisters. The shoes are normally like slippers to me. It must have been the terrain. I could not articulate my ankle and the swelling was the main reason I was pulled from the checkpoint by the doctor. I plan having another go in 2024. But I have to "WANT" it or it just wont work. Thanks for the kind comment about the videos.

Thank you. I do plan another try in 2024. But time will tell. Always lovely to see a friendly face.
