Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Llamadance amazing, fantastic race. Got pretty hot - ran with Hendo for about 34 miles then mostly myself for the rest. Felt great till 44 when wheels came off and I mostly walked in from there. Lovely to see familiar faces (esp at checkpoints) and meet a few new Fetchies.

Russell M First ever ultra so not really sure what to expect! Training runs have been up to 35 miles on trails but that extra 18 miles seems quite daunting just now. Using this to get a time to work on in future years, anything under 12 hours I'll be happy with :) **UPDATE** Without doubt the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I did the first half in under 4 1/2 hours and was feeling pretty good but from about mile 35 on I felt terrible - had some really bad blisters and chafing which made every step painful. My pace dropped so much that my body temperature also started dropping so much so that I was shivering and my teeth were chattering, never experienced that during a run before! At that point I had to put on my jacket, gloves and hat to try to keep warm but still felt cold. My goal before the start had been to get a sub-12 hour time but when I got half-way in the time I did I started thinking I could definitely aim for a sub-11, if not even a sub-10. Then I basically watched the sub-10 chance disappear... then the sub-11.... and then had to resign to the fact that I wasn't going to make the sub-12 either. Eventually finished in 12hr 21m. At the time I was (predictably) vowing never to try anything like this again but even now I realise that I had a very bad experience but one that I will have learned an awful lot from. I'll come back stronger for the Devil O' The Highlands race in August.

scotmark first race over half marathon - aimed to complete race but was hoping around 12hrs. terrible cramp after mile 30 for ages hindered this. brendan running last 11miles with me psychological boost. very warm and humid conditions. enjoyable all the same/mollie got a medal.
