They’ve not said otherwise, staggered start on the roads in Coniston would be too disruptive
I’m hoping it’s random paces to start, slowbies first and being overtaken non stop from the start isn’t nice - but even mixed pace would do that, id rather start at the back and stay there

More detail than the email. Presumably speedsters up the front and everyone else somewhere in the middle

Whould have been better if there was that clarity in the original email, but pleased its a straightforward sensible process
I shall start towards the last of the window - much nicer to be following than being overtaken

Both the L50 and L100 punish early over exuberance.
Your strategy is spot on Rosehip.
There are no finishers medals for those that exceed their abilities early doors. Sadly I know that to my cost.

Yep. The race has even cut offs so need to “bank time”. I’m planning on taking it easy for the first few hours and see how it goes.
I’ve seen enough races where people go off to quickly only to drop at half way

The only cut-off you really need to worry about (for the 100) is Buttermere, which is 10 hours for a marathon. If you make that you really shouldn't get timed out at any of the others as they get softer from then on.

Agree with you flanker. And once you're at Sail Pass the interest (and toughness) declines until you get to Fusedale.

Apart for where its dark, there’s plenty of interest betweenSail and Fusedale if you haven’t seen it before

Oh, don't get me wrong, it is still maginificent. Just not as magnificent as what has gone before.

Last run:walk done. Less of hay in the barn and more some soft fruit that is well by it's best has been harvested. What will be will be. One CP at a time. And whio knows, with a bit of luck, rub of the green, I may get back to Coniston. But one thing I do know is that I intend on trying to enjoy every step.
