phal Mar 2011 2:00pm, 21 Mar 2011 1,775 posts	0 phal thesteadygroove and I did 60 miles (both solo-ing) (what did folks measure the lap as? we recconed on 6 miles a lap - or was it a measured 10k route?) in 12 hours and 33 minutes... definitely NOT flat
Liliaicha Mar 2011 2:05pm, 21 Mar 2011 3,322 posts	0 Liliaicha I did just over 34 miles - measured the route as between 5.66 and 5.71 miles! So definately not 10k phal - 60 miles was fantastic, well done on your prize too!

Didn't actually affect me too much on Sunday as I tapped it up really well. Just looks nasty now though.
Liliaicha Mar 2011 2:40pm, 21 Mar 2011 3,323 posts	0 Liliaicha 6 miles may well be a good estimate - I'm sure that from the 9k mark to the finish was about 500m! I will be telling everyone that I did 6 x 6 miles, I will also be telling that we came 2nd, but not out of 2!!

Loved it yesterday - great event, really good marshals, wonderful company - top notch RD but I`m sure there are easier places to run to 12hrs.....and 9 mins 47 secs. 9 Laps - 51.43 Miles. Doing a really good John Wayne impression today esp when I got out of the car after driving back.
