I would have given you a heckle but your number was on your back before we noticed you. Then a friend saw you at Linlithgow CP but again i was just away to next one. Well done on grinding it out - It's not an easy race.
tricialitt Apr 2013 6:38pm, 7 Apr 2013 19 posts	0 tricialitt Now I'm wondering why I was being such a wimp at 40 miles- honestly, I could so easily have just stayed sitting at the CP. I am so glad I didn't- just the achievement of getting the first 50 miler done was what kept me going- if there had been a CP at 51 miles, that might have been different, but there was no way out other than via the finish line at that point. I think next time (if there is a next time) will be easier, as I was quite anxious about the distance all day, not knowing how I would feel at that point- now I know I can do it.
Dvorak Mar 2017 4:55pm, 15 Mar 2017 13,315 posts	0 Dvorak Anyone running it this year? (Spotted Nelski on the entry list). 1st April, 3 days left to enter. Towpath resurfacing continues, the often squidgy bit after the big tunnel amongst the bits done, and the tunnel itself has a new interactive lighting experience (which gave me considerable amusement last week).

It's a great treadmill and will need collecting from Glasgow. Cheers. ebay.co.uk

Still 56 miles, but slightly different from the old race as it starts at the Riverside Museum in Glasgow (so a bit of distance to the canal) and at 0600 with a 15-hour cut-off). The end is no longer at the canal end in Fountainbridge, but takes a turn down the Water of Leith and finishes on Saughton track. gbultras.com
