Definitely not my ideal (or, I imagine anyone's) weather conditions, but I'm elated with my 52 miles. Would have liked to get over 53 so I could have claimed my longest run ever, but missed out by less than half a mile in the end. The sound of the horn and knowing I could stop moving and put on dry clothes more than made up for it though! Well done HappyG - I'm sure you're chuffed with your result! Never said well done in person as you were holed up in a tent, I hear. Hope you weren't feeling too rough. Massive thanks to Mrs_Shanksi for the support, idle_wilder for the lend of a waterproof jacket (life saver!!) and a lift to Glenmore, and to RWR and Kynon for the lift home! Same time next year?

medalslut Sep 2014 8:03pm, 8 Sep 2014 506 posts	Quote Pin medalslut I was considering the 24 during the 12 minutes of sunshine, but the chance of gash weather again means my answer to that is now: no, no, no, no, no, no. 12 is plenty.

There was laps where I wouldn't see anyone at all except the wonderfully in tune signing marshals at the water station. I didn't see Happy G once while I was running but saw him running well towards the end.

Shame about the weather, the hail was a bit mental! I think it's a wonderful race and I already want to do the 24 hr again and run for the WHOLE 24 hours (take note MikeR). I love the loop and I felt very happy to run on it again. I did 12 miles All the folk I supported were super and not demanding at all. Thanks guys. Same time next year for sure

Lintie Sep 2014 10:20pm, 8 Sep 2014 3,305 posts	Quote Pin Lintie £400 so far with more to come MrsS. 2 toenails on the way out and she got a special mention at assembly today. She totally rocks! I do fancy a 24 hour race but not Glenmore. I like the from midnight party way too much
