Before the race I asked the J's and Nic'O to record their summit times so that we could do a bit of analysis on relative ascent and descent times. However the lady was only wearing a girlie watch "to reduce weight" and neither of the guys remembered my instructions in the heat of battle (and YJ a trained killer!). So the only vaguely interesting bit of info that I have on that front, is that by the time I was rounding the tower in 19:26 the first nine men had crossed the finishing line.
This years event provided some very close racing down in our section. First home, as reported by JtE, in 29:18 and second LV50 was girlie watch Nic'O.
The Galloping Major owned up to "blowing up" early on in the race and finished in 142nd place in 29:44. He was immediately followed by YJ, 143rd in 29:49, second MV70. Then it was TGM's 2IC Captain Pinnell, 144th in 29:50. Then TF's friend the Gobbing Goon from Glossop 145th in 29:55, Horwich's Mark Sammon 146th in 30:08, then yours truly 147th in 30:11 ~ good grouping, guys.
Very close behind were Ron Hill 161st and 3rd MV70 in 32:35, JtE 164th and first MV75 164th in 32:52, then Alan Blinkhorn Horwich MV60 165th in 33:05. 174 men finished.
Note that these positions relate just to the men's race, ladies' results were not integrated.
