[@IanMcalpine-ep9fc]

Great stuff Al. Looking forward to part 2 👊🏻

[@AlPepperRuns]

@@IanMcalpine-ep9fc thanks Ian! Appreciate it!

[@paulsummerly8203]

Smid needs to cheer up.loved it.thankyou.

[@AlPepperRuns]

Haha, it was a tough shift! I’ll let him off!

[@sunderlandhughes]

Horrendous conditions! Well done for sticking it out!

[@AlPepperRuns]

@@sunderlandhughes thanks David! Got another in a couple of weeks… I deserve some good weather!

[@TheHeggahegga]

Oof, that looks rock hard. That glorious Lakes weather. Looking forward to part 2. 👍

[@AlPepperRuns]

@@TheHeggahegga no wonder it’s so green and lovely! It rains all the time! Thank you!

[@jamstaa69]

25:36 Finally some proof I was there.. haven’t made it in to any other pics yet.. was definitely a very moist first half 😂

[@AlPepperRuns]

@@jamstaa69 haha, it wasn’t just a dream! Yeah, there weren’t many photographers were there. I didn’t see myself in many either.

[@Cam-peel92]

That looks solid! Great effort guys. Looking forward to part 2!

[@AlPepperRuns]

@@Cam-peel92 it was tough! Overall it was actually doable, easier than others in fact, but it was just an absolute slog getting through it with all the mud.

[@emmaconnolly4877]

I did this one too although much slower than you 2 - was good to see what some of the end looked like as I did it in the dark in sheeting rain - glad to have finished. Well done!

[@AlPepperRuns]

@@emmaconnolly4877 I had about an hour in the rain to finish and that was enough! Massive well done for completing it! Time is irrelevant, we all completed it just the same!

[@stefanschiefer2066]

First. Well done! 20:48 - I love that shes just mixing the drink with her hand haha

[@AlPepperRuns]

@@stefanschiefer2066 haha, I hadn’t picked up on that! Class. It’s good for your immune system!

[@MrsHuntontheTrails]

A great day - even in the pouring rain.

[@AlPepperRuns]

@@MrsHuntontheTrails it was some adventure wasn’t it! Although if Mother Nature wants to help out next time… I’ll have a dry one please!

[@MrsHuntontheTrails]

@@AlPepperRuns and I'll stick to cheering and filming B-roll...... ☔🙂

[@kevinscott4938]

Im quite literally (well, in my head) shouting at my laptop saying Don't give up! Keep going!

[@AlPepperRuns]

@@kevinscott4938 haha, that’s brilliant! Stay tuned for part 2 to see how we get on!

[@derekpugh5457]

I ran and walked this too …the weather was brutal, but so glad I finished, first ultra for me and won’t be my last in the lakes …look forward to watching the second film

[@AlPepperRuns]

@@derekpugh5457 massive well done Derek! I reckon you’ve got a tough one under your belt now, next one should be a walk in the (national) park!

[@derekpugh5457]

@@AlPepperRuns everyone who took part and got on that start line was a legend, didn’t expect it to be that tough …well done you and your mate for finishing 👏🏻👏🏻

[@AlastairCunningham-g4z]

Good to see Smid enjoying himself 😂

[@AlPepperRuns]

@@AlastairCunningham-g4z haha, he had a great time didn’t he! Reckon he’d have ran it twice if they’d let him!

[@AlastairCunningham-g4z]

@@AlPepperRuns tbf to Smid, someone I know did it & said they hated it from the first minute to the last minute 😂

[@ultrasmid]

@@AlastairCunningham-g4z ironically felt my best 60km in

[@AlastairCunningham-g4z]

@@ultrasmid I’ve only managed 50k twice so doubt I’ll ever do a 60k warm up 🤣

[@huntonthetrails]

Nice one Al. Well done for keeping up the enthusiasm. That rain was pretty unforgiving. I was slightly further up the road so made the track even muddier for you 😁. Looking forward to Part 2 .

[@AlPepperRuns]

@@huntonthetrails haha, so you were to blame! Huge well done though! Did you film it?

[@huntonthetrails]

I did yes, but not with the same level of enthusiasm 😂. Great event though.

[@neilcam]

Well that looked like fun! The worst thing about that statement is that I'm serious. Yes, yes, I've been told that there might be something wrong with me before.

[@AlPepperRuns]

@@neilcam haha, I know what you mean! There’s a strange pleasure in the effort required of ultra events, the harder the better in some cases! Although I would like an easy one now!

[@kevinscott4938]

Mushrooms are a must in a spag for me nom nom
