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.

The race was won by Stewart Whitlie in 3:34:10. This is the first year the race has been run since 1992.

Ellie and I marshalled on the summit of Ben Ime for just over 3 hours in moderately unpleasant gale force winds and torrential rain. The tent was barely up to the job and was repeatedly flattened as we tried to put the thing up with numb fingers and trying not top let all our stuff get blown away. Definitely a different experience to running in the race.
