It’s that time again!! I have another ultra coming up so another competition. The Grand Tour of Skiddaw starts at 8am on Saturday 23rd August 2014. I’m running with Katrina as a team so your guess will be the time we finish together.
The race is 44miles with over 7,000ft of climb which includes Skiddaw. To give you an idea of the time we could do our 29.44mile recce on the route took us 8hrs 22mins. I reckon if we add on 3hrs 20mins for the 15miles we didn’t do then a time around 12hrs should be reasonable.
Will we be able to go faster than that on race day? Or will the extra miles add on more time? Anyway if you want to take part please send your guess in hours, minutes and seconds by 9pm Thursday 21st August by …

There will be a prize and a limited edition key ring for the closest guess. Plus you get your name on my Hall of Fame board!
I shall open the bidding on here with 11:46:35. Good luck!
