John Boothman took part in this race in 2023 and he did it again this year in a slightly faster time, but for some reason, they did not go all the way to Ingleborough trig, so times were probably very similar. John was very happy with his time considering what he describes as his not so great race last week at the Three Peaks. In retrospect he puts that down to being already tired before the start and to the hot conditions.
This race is twice as far and takes in all of the three peaks, plus an extra run up the shoulder of Pen Y Ghent in addition to going twice over Fountains Fell. A total of 52 miles with some serious climbing and not a race to be taken lightly. After last week, in the Three Peaks race, John was a little hesitant, but the race went well, although he was rather tired on the last section.
