1st place is absolutely shifting! The trail running vicar. One of the nicest guys you’ll meet, and both he and his wife are very handy on the trails! She’s leading the ladies and 7th overall at the moment.

I was waiting for someone to post here as I’d used my 3 lives 
Sad to say, a DNF for me. I had a big tumble just 7km in. We were in a field on a slight downhill and it was very long grass but the ‘trail’ was where a tractor had flattened the grass. I was running along and my foot just dropped into a hole that the grass was covering up. I spoke to 3 or 4 people that went down in the same field.
Smacked my left knee pretty hard and rolled my ankle but the biggest hit was to my left palm and wrist. That’s already taken a battering in the last 6 wks or so.
I was helped up and carried on after a sheepish re-start. As I went on though, the jarring on my wrist was making it swell up to the point where I had to swap my watch over to my right wrist.
About 22km in, Vanessa and her mate overtook me and asked if all was ok. I told them what happened and that I had Serpent Trail in two weeks and I was going to make a call at CP2. They encouraged me to bail but I thought I’d see how it went.
CP2 at 24.5km came and I carried on but about 1.5km after that, I went to climb over a stile and couldn’t bear any weight on my wrist. I turned around and walked back to CP2 and pulled out. They took me and two others back to finish where my car was.
Medics took a look and ice packed it. It feels ‘ok’ now but not great. Need to prioritise it now because I’ll need the poles for Serpent Trail and that can stress the wrists.
I was trucking on ok generally though but it was bloody humid.

Cheers mate. Disappointing not to finish and I’m certainly fed up with falling over. I may have slugged it out for a walk finish but giving ST my best shot seemed more important.
I hope I’m proved right.

Winners I think this year will be Jim and Katie.
On another note went to see the cardiologist the other evening and hes pretty much given me the all clear - just waiting for a MRI on the heart .
First episode was a Micturition syncope ( yes by going to the loo in the night!) . Second time he thinks it just happened nothing untoward .
I am still slightly paranoid , but happy to start training ( although need to find a nice race to enter - preferably a qualiifer for WSER before the end of October ) . But will see how running goes in July before I make any decisions.

Just tried to tune in but the commentators are beyond painful.
