Lakeland 100

Good luck to Lawrence on his latest epic - the mammoth Lakeland 100 - 100 miles around the lakes starting tomorrow at 5:30. He has to be finished by 9:30 Sunday morning but I'm sure that won't be a problem for an athlete of his callibre!

Re: Lakeland 100

Apparently it's 105. I suppose what's another five at that point. I'd make him do another 20 for hogging all the PLS television time at Snowdon

Good luck Lawrence, the nutters' section is alive and well eh Mal?

Re: Lakeland 100

On-line tracking shows Lawrence is moving smoothly through the field - he's up to 25th place at checkpoint 9 in 16h 21m 02s. Only 6 more checkpoints to go!!

Re: Lakeland 100

Way to go matey way to go!!
36th as it stands...
by my calculation he has about 30ish minutes to the finish now....
which makes a HUUUGE improvement from last year!!!
Lawrence, your NO training NO warming up (he claims) tacticts are paying off big time!!!

Re: Lakeland 100

Thank you for the support.

I did not look after my feet even though I suffered last year. I am pleased to get under 30hours, although it became a quest just to finish as I walked very slowly between check-points, from No. 9, wondering why I had not just retired; but then again the feet where damaged and I might as well get a reward and another T-shirt for the collection. There was a final push at the end to slip under 30 hours paced by fellow competitor Jody Young. Calf muscles and feet sore today; I think I will have a few days off running.
