Err... so yeah. I'm sort of done, although I'm not entirely convinced it counts :?

This event: http://www.endurancelife.com/event-new. ... cation=289
Billed as 13.2 miles here (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw--uy ... VwX28/view)
Time: 1:52:52 46/373 (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... edit#gid=0)

However my Garmin measured it as 20.8km (https://www.strava.com/activities/521329136), and while I'm not normally one to quibble GPS data I clicked on another 10 competitors and all record a distance of 20.7-20.8km. Obvs course measurement is always going to be difficult on a trail course but I've always viewed the advertised distances as "at least XX distance". The course was a much safer 23.3km last time I did it (2011) - I'm not sure why they changed it.

Oh well, best you get out and do 21Km as 20.8Km doesn't count; ask Woody ;)

As readers of TTF will be well aware, the course measurer's wheel should trump my dodgy GPS :-)

so if i've read that right Ewan is the next person to finish meaning the top 3 have gone to Cat (1st) me (2nd) and Ewan (3rd)

still time ladies and Gents...although those with none on the board might be pushing it
