21,450' or so - pace slowing, only Richard giving us any regular momentum - I'm now off to stratford on avon for a conference (auditing - yawn!) so won't be hitting the hills until Sunday when its the Mendip Muddle - should be a great race if the weather stays like it is this am.

Not much height gained today or tomorrow, taking it easy in preperation for race on Saturday, so today total ascent only 80'.

Next week will start up again

haven't been out recently, resting a niggling injury before weavers half mara on sunday, input will unfortunatley only be from weekend runs, as it's too dark during the week by the time I get home.

I've had a niggle and a cold too, sniff.. so not assisting the cause much at the moment I'm afraid.

Ditto re Weavers. How are you feeling today MM? I'm pretty achey and my feet are sore. You did well, (sorry didn't spot you). Wasn't it a long slog to the tower! Glad I did it though.

Hello Quacks,in quite a bit of agony today, flare up with arthritus in my hip and knees, it started hurting after first check point! Agree with the tower, thought they'd taken it out of the route with how long it took to get there! found the last bit through the woods quite demoralising, seemed to go on forever. Raced a bloke for the finish line, only to discover that he's 67!

There was noone in sight when I plodded over the finish line!! Glad the weather was good, imagine if it had been cold and rainy! Hope you feel better tomorrow.

First hill run in ages for me yesterday, still feeling slightly sore in the splints but otherwise ok. Will just need to be carefull training tonight. Went up the local small hills (424m) so add 600' from me...

quick question does height followed by ' represent feet? also is there about 3.3 feet to a metre?

DanielB

14/10/2003 at 14:47

3.3 feet is about 1 metre

Well. looks like we made it - Richard appears to have reach the summit and then gone some way beyond.

Disappointed to find that the team I was hoping to lead to glory in the Fell Relay championships on Saturday is no more - two late drop-outs mean we only have four of the six runners required. Anyone aware of anything else off-road'ish this week-end?

Are we stopping at the top of everest or are we going to continue and see if we can get into space?
