Unlike last year when we both marshalled, this year Ellie and I decided it would be easier to run the race. The weather was fairly grim and misty and rainy, which made the steep descents off Vorlich and Narnain extremely tricky and slippy.
Ellie finished 1st of only 4 women to complete the course. I scraped in just under 4 hours in 14th position. The race was jointly won by Tom Owens and Simon Peachey.

Chris, I'm really impressed by your blog, and so have placed a link in mine (mountainousambitions.blogspot.com). How do you include the images in the text of your blog so that they enlarge and open in another window? Presumably the race profiles are .pdf files from a Garmin?
Regards,
Simon.
Hi Simon, good luck with your own preparations for the Bob Graham, and thanks for the link to your blog.
I can email you the HTML I insert in my blog the images, and yes the race profiles are from my Garmin 205 Forerunner files uploaded to SportTracks, then screen-captured and saved as a JPG ater adding some text in Photoshop Elements.
Regards,
Chris
Simon, here's an example of the HTML in my post for an image (but replace the square brackets for angle brackets):
