100 miles and 6800+ meters

[FARMER]

If anyone cares tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. I will attempt my first 100. This should cater to my strengths on more technical footing and most climbs between 1 and 2 thousand feet. There is a 40 hour cutoff and the course is unmarked so navigation is essential. It takes place in the Lake District which is in northwest england and a 6 hour drive from our flat in London. post race report to come next week. www.lakeland100.com

Just keep in mind that you don't need to actually try and do well. If you just walk it out and just miss the cutoff you can wow us with stories of how you persevered. Before you write the report could you post about how awesome it is going to be like all your other reports?

 

[J.Dub]

Good luck, and can't wait for the TR.

(Don't forget that they run on the left side of the trail over there... )

6800 meters? why don't you try using a measuring system that makes sense.

how many kilometers is 100 miles? do i need a yard stick to convert?

 

[Jay H]

6.8 kms.. that makes sense!

Have a jolly good time!

Best of luck! That looks like an awesome event. Can't wait to do my first 100... in a year from now .

I see my 'cousin' won the race last year!

You are incredible. And nuts. But mostly incredible.

 

[Dr. Dasypodidae]

Flat in London? I thought that you were living in the Lakes District. Good luck on this one!

Best of luck!!!

Good luck Ryan! Show them where you come from! Are you officially Brit now or will you fly Stars & Stripes? Have fun and be safe! Sounds like quite the endurance test!

 

[mookie]

anyone else tracking this dude?
he seems to be doing amazingly well!!!
hope he doesnt burn out. 100 miles is a freaking looooong run!

good job farmer!

 

[MichaelJ]

So far so good through checkpoint 10 - 17th place! Checkpoint 11 isn't reporting.

 

[MTNRUNR]

"Retired"

Looks like they have Ryan listed as "retired" at Lake Runner Ambleside, CP 12 @ 141.4 KM.

 

[Dave Bear]

Bummer! Hope he is okay! That is so close to going the distance!

 

[Dave Bear]

I looked at the race info again and it appears that once they have three at the finish the others place where they are instead of completing the 100. I could be wrong but this is how it looks to me.

24th doesn't look to shabby out of over 500 participants! Congrats Ryan!

Actually, it does look like he "retired" at leg 11.

A phenomenal showing! Nothing but improvement from here!

 

[Dave Bear]

I see it now Dave. So he was 24th at the checkpoint he made it to. Still one hell of a great effort!

 

[Curious1]

Looking forward to the details Ryan- I'm curious!
