Competing in the marathon event, joint first back for Ripon after a grueling 29 miles and over 5,500 feet of ascent were Jill Holt and Nicole Sutton in a great time of 6 hours 14 minutes. Jill’s finish meant she claimed the FV50 prize. Completing her 6th long distance event in 6 weeks, Lena Conlin finished in 6 hours 28 minutes, while Steve Silver enjoyed every moment (?) to finish in a time TBC. Lucy Smith retired at 15 miles due to injury.
