Do I get the prize for getting closest to the target time in the 4hr group? Chip time 4hrs 4secs (PB by 6mins). I think the wind helped. 
Well done to everyone on an epic achievement in interesting conditions. Sorry I didn't meet up with the 4hr group before the start. By the time I'd jogged up to the start at 10:15 there was no discernible group at the intersection. I only got to link up with T Rex long after we'd finished. I recall a green vested vegetarian cyclist and athlete slowly overtaking me in the latter stages of the run. I wondered if it might have been T Rex but I had nothing more in the engine to close the few yards and ask. Turned out it was. Good to see you TR in Pete's Eats after the delayed and long-winded presentation.
A few statistics for you. My fastest mile was up to mile 5 (6:44, downhill and wind assisted). Slowest was up to mile 22 (13:57, uphill, tired, walking and wind hindered).
I loved the friendliness of the event, and all the supporters out in the wind and rain cheering us on. The family with the young kiddies handing out jelly babies shortly before the right turn to the big climb was a godsend. Two jelly babies plucked from the palm of the little 'un were just what I needed to give me strength.
It was a very enjoyable day. I will be back in 2009 for a 4th consecutive try, with sub 4 firmly in my thoughts.
Next major one for me is Round Rotherham 50 in December. Anyone else? There might be a better chance of meeting up, with the smaller field.
