Well done Daz, important thing is you had enough to keep going. With plenty of experiance I still crash and burn sometimes.

e.g...... I part blame the conditions for TDS, but I probably still could have managed by pace and energy better. The queues, more often than not in early stages of TDS probably helped as much as hindered to keep my pace down. Just didn't help later on when I needed to move fast and keep warm. The TDS is the smallest field of the UTMB events bar PTL I think, but I still thought there were too many people for the capacity of the trails. It's a good thing that the Lakeland 50 and 100 are restricted to less than a thousand people total in my opinion.

I also didn't eat right, I should have carried more food to eat between CP when I slowed down later and it was a long time between food points. And at some CP i should have eaten better in the CP, warm noodle soup was useful on several occasions (warmth, salt, energy). Chocolate good as well, bits of local meat and cheese were tasty, but didn't have too much as figured no point in overdoing the protein. Were also bananas and cola and some cakes, but I missed something, maybe spoilt with the sandwiches at various UK events

T-rex - That was some month for you and your probably right that it was too much. It doesn't sound like you give up easily Good efforts in both though and I hope the injury is recovering speedily.

Sorry it didnt work out well for you CD...good to see you at the start tho

hope you had a good one claister..sorry if i startled you !

i dont think im good over distance in the heat. for such a short run i felt like death afterwards..bordering on going to hospital. could hardly drive, felt delirious, hot and cold sweats, kept stopping the car and then to top it all an emergency stop in hebden and several roadside chunders

was chipper by the time i eventually got home..enough to enjoy the amazing closing ceremony..how fantastic was that spectacle!

Probably just had a bug Dave, or eaten something that disagreed with you. Don't beat yourself up about it, you'll be fine next outing.

or an allergic reaction to yorkshire sorry you had such a grim time, but as SP says will be better next time. I had a blast! we took our time, enjoyed the countryside and spoke yarkshire non-stop for a long while

think it was a bug as mrs cd had it early morning today too 

amazing the different experiences you have between two quite similar races..had a blast at the bigrunningweekend and felt i could do it all over again yet struggled like buggery yesterday and was ready to die

glad you had a good day claire

ive had 3 runs from howarth but not really enjoyed any of them that much..strange topography

much prefer peaks / lakes / scotland /  yorks moors / yorks dales

At least you saw the finish before your stomach decided it needed to evacuate

Clairster -  yep, gotta talk yarksha up that way, thats propa yorkshire-yorkshire there, they even think Hull (east yorks) are a bit outsider I reckon.

CD - Probably a reaction to the hard water of the area  Glad your better now though, sure its just a one off. 

Hmmm.... is a tough running area. Lots of undulations and quite steep climbs even if nothing massive. Some of the paths a bit rougher in West Yorks than peaks, Moors and much of dales. And often muddier too (calderdale area moors esp). Not to say there isn't mud ti be found in all these areas (e.g. Rosedale Rumble in Moors - I know - and High peak marathon - I hear).

Warm weather hits hard doesn't it, taking it easy and only did 7m, but left me quite tired. Did include some steep and short climbs/descents and ran a few miles on the stoney beach between Ferriby and Hessle - rough ground training / keeping my eye (foot) in

How about some Wolds running CD? Some good events in our mini-hills around here: Rudolph's Romp (LDWA), Bishop Wilton half, Woldsman

It's not just your food that seems to be repeating on you, CD   
(Sorry, couldn't resist - hope you, and Mrs CD, feel better soon )
