| Mick Hanney | Aug 22 2008, 11:17pm | It was long enough believe me, but everyone should try it (the 3 peaks that is). I've no wish myself to run beyond marathon distance in the near or distant future, but I admire anyone who can persevere to do it. |

Ireland's Patrick Devine Wright is in third place and the winner from 20 years ago Helene Whitaker (née Diamantides) is in 4th place (amazing achievement!)
