Sorry for the wait, it's been a manic few weeks.

My garage still looks shit with tents drying and generator, tables, water barrels everywhere.

David, I take your point about elitism on board. If I would have no job, or a job that would not make me be away from home most of the year, I happily stay longer. The problem is that some folks in the past simply walk the damn thing which goes against the nature of organising a race. I spent hundreds of hours on this every year. The race is just the final culmination of it all.

You are most welcome and I reckon you can make the cut-off. This year the conditions were the worst they have ever been...

Ladies, 
I hope to have the results up before the end of November. Work pressures are currently taking much of my spare time. 

Please be patient, it will happen, it's not an easy job.

Cheers,

Henk 

Sticks are banned from my event for a couple of reasons:

1/ They give an advantage as they take strain from the legs during climbs. I know everyone can carry them to level that out, but it's a race and not the LDWA like Smithy points out. 

2/ I have seen many occasions where are folks get spiked by them as most folks who carry them are the equivalent of drivers of German cars, ie. turning off unexpectedly without giving any notice.

3/ You look like a tw*t with them, also goes for Garmin in urban England, compression socks etc. 

This year there will be a special award at my event for those special insecure folks who need all this crap to run.

You did well Keith, very well.

As much as I take the piss out of all of you, I know what a grinder this course is having covered literally thousands of miles over Caesar's over the years. 

Would be good to see you back next year and crack the 100.
