puffinnuffin Apr 2012 9:40pm, 29 Apr 2012 37 posts	0 puffinnuffin I made it at Manchester as well today. Was on for 3.20 until about 19 miles but I couldn't hold on and finished in 3h 25m 16s (gun time minus start mat time). Really wet, pretty windy and very cold at the finish but Sub 3.30. what more could you ask for?

So, the list of up and comings is dwindling... anybody got anything to add in - more spring / summer attempts (or Autumn even?!) lets keep this thread alive both to support Flanker short term and also for future attempts and to encourage some newbies
