Duchess Apr 2015 11:57am, 27 Apr 2015 5,640 posts	0 Duchess JD are you/MrsJD on the FB page? There's a post from the race medic asking for any of the day's casualties to get in touch; it helps to ensure they have the right coverage for future years and other ultras. Glad Mrs JD is okay now.
flyingfinn Apr 2015 12:26pm, 27 Apr 2015 586 posts	0 flyingfinn Thoroughly enjoyed my first Fling maybe a little too much early on! but after a rough patch climbing up to Glen Bogle I rallied well over the last six miles to finish pretty close to the best expectations I had A really great day out Sorry to hear about about your wife JD I hope she mends quickly. A few went down quite hard around me on the lochside but apart from a couple of minor toe scuffs I had a good day bouncing over the rocks (grip on the x-talons was like glue :-)), though not as good as _andy who closed me down over that stretch and then pulled away by a few minutes from Bein Glas.

Pleasureprinciple Apr 2015 9:11am, 28 Apr 2015 170 posts	0 Pleasureprinciple MikeR 13hr 48min was gun time, 13hr 44 min was chip time. As a first timer I set off in the 12+ hours section. I crossed the line along with another lady almost together I think. I was thanking everybody with a wave of my celebratory plastic toy pipe as I crossed the line! Happy days!

I'd been swooping positions with the Carnethy guy from about 6 miles, thought I'd got away before Bein Glas only for him to nearly catch me at the end!
