Big Thank You to everyone who sponsored and showed us their support. We had a great team this year, and although we had not trained together that much it was obvious on the day that everyone had put the individual effort in. It was one of the few years that no one needed to rest on the way up, and everyone managed to jog/run the way down. Although we didn't break any records I believe we finished 5 minutes in front of second place even though we punctured on the way down.
This is a great event and the amount of support from the public on the mountain was superb. This year we shared the mountain with the seven peaks race, I don't think one runner passed us without offering words of support. On the way down a Sikh charity was getting underway and lined both sides of the path and cheered us on and offered water bottles too.
Ben Nevis is on the cards for September, which will be a tougher challenge and one we will do on our own as the charity can't put an event on there as it's a risk assessment nightmare. Whats App group already set up and 8 weeks training starting tomorrow once my legs are a bit less stingy!
