I found the seminar a huge help in enabling me to complete the TDS, so thank you very much! The best advice for me was to make my training race specific.
A 2018 UTMB finisher
May I firstly say what a fantastic weekend my wife Caroline, friend Sarah and I had. We all did far better than any of us thought possible. However due to the great company, organisation and hospitality we came away from the event more than happy, thank you.
I was concerned when I realised I was starting in the elite group as I really felt that there was no way my standard of running would warrant such a starting position, not having done a back to back event before I wondered whether I would actually complete it. However my only failing was probably not to have a bit more faith in my ability, as despite getting lost on day1 I managed to finish the day in 15th place overall. Day2 seemed to be a much better day for me by not getting lost and managing to start a bit steadier and maintain a more even pace.
I thank you for forwarding the results so quickly as I can only imagine how difficult it must be to compile them with it being a 2 day event.
Kind regards

Hi Neil and Brian,
Firstly thank you for an amazing event at the weekend. It was my first ever ultra not to mention first ever multi stage event and I have to say I really enjoyed it. The Marshall's and everyone involved in the running of it were all great obviously yourselves included.
Brian I will as promised, promote your events to my local running club as I know there are several members really interested in ultra events.
You will no doubt see me again as I have a new found passion for ultra. Many thanks again for all your hard work.
Best wishes, Melissa
