Remember when weekends were hangovers on the sofa? Now it’s football with the kids… taking them for walks in the park… swimming… homework… ironing uniforms… I’m done in! 🤣😴🤣😴

A perfect example of before and after #UTMB get involved in an event… take sometime that works fine and see how complicated and expensive we can make exactly the same thing!

What’s with #UTMB and the #Arc - we all know @opentracking.bsky.social have the best platform and #UTMB try and make you track on their awful website. Just use the normal @opentracking.bsky.social system… it’s WAY better!

Seriously!!! They actually think this will stop someone buying a knife!! Maybe the next big idea will be that you need ID for buying drugs too? It’s not the actual knife that’s the problem you idiots. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Are you a member of a running club and want to give back to the running community. How about doing a checkpoint takeover for a @canarytrails event. If you're interested email [email protected] for more details and to get involved

Why is 90 mins “swimming” with my 4yo and 6yo boys more tiring than running 20 miles!!! 😴😴😴😴

I’ve already got #DotWithdrawl symptoms. Thinking of getting the kids to walk around the park with an iPad so I can track them 🤣🤣🤣

YES Tim! YES!!! Absolute @spinerace.bsky.social hero!!! #Spinerace

Looks like the kip in the church has sorted Tim and Heine out… they’re motoring up to Hut 1 now… not far now and the glory of a @spinerace.bsky.social finish awaits!!! COME ON!!! 💪💪💪 #spinerace

One last push for Tim and Heine and they’ve got this. Get out by 4pm latest and they’ll be ok! Go smash it fellas! #SpineRace

Sewage works… if you know… you know… 💩🌳

DOT watching really isn’t helping me with my PhD thesis… I’m supposed to be handing in 10,000 words for review on Friday. 😬

COME ON Tim and Heine they can definitely make this… as soon they turn right their average speed will increase and they’ll make the @spinerace.bsky.social CP at Byrness for noon. No drop bag faff so they can do it! COME ON FELLAS!!! #SpineRace 💪💪💪

The BEST food incoming boys… the NICEST CP team you will ever meet… COME ON 💪💪💪💪 get yourselves up Padon Hill then smash it. @spinerace.bsky.social

Tim and Heine really need a get shift on when they hit the downhill to Bryness. I was in the last place group in ‘23 around the same time and we pretty much ran the last 4 miles to make cutoff!! Come on lads @spinerace.bsky.social #SpineRace

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 @nuddypants.bsky.social

@nuddypants.bsky.social deep in the @spinerace.bsky.social messed up warped reality where just 3 miles will take way more than an hour and your brain can’t compute it! 💪🙌💪🙌💪

Apart from a little scoot of the Schil it’s all downhill from here, well done @nuddypants.bsky.social 👏👏👏

I guess it’s as good a place as any to get over it! 🤣 #spinerace

5 of the best steady downhill miles into Bryness for @nuddypants.bsky.social and then the awesome food at the CP. She’s 💯 got this now! #spinerace

You’re stressing me out now Tim… #spinerace

Keeping a close eye on Steven and Heine here, going to be a tight turnaround in Alston! Looks like they’re following my example from ‘23! #spinerace

Another morning with a media fail… received notification yesterday about pending inflation figures. It’s a positive result so no further notification. Growth positive this morning… guess what, no notifications! Wonder what would have happened if it was negative 🤔🤔🤔 controlling the narrative!

What a group!!! Well done @lucygossage.bsky.social, Nicky, Kim and John! 👏👏👏

Lucy Gossage wins the women's race at the Montane Winter Spine Race 2025 This was a redemption story for Lucy who was looking to reclaim this race after events in her personal life last year, soured the memory of her amazing 3rd placed finish…

And in she rolls to the best CP on the Spine… great food, better people and comfy beds… enjoy the 5* @spinerace.bsky.social luxury @nuddypants.bsky.social - superb effort so far! #spinerace

Just the 9.5kph at the finish… mental!!!! Go Kim… Go!!! #spinerace

What a total star! 🌟 Nicky Spinks wins the Spine Challenger North 2025. She said her highlight was the food, which as Checkpoint Lead, I’m taking as an enormous win! 💪🏻🤩 Absolute privilege to see Nicky take this victory #SpineRace #SpineChallengerNorth

Truly awesome by Nicky Spinks a proper @spinerace.bsky.social legend!!! Nearly there and what a performance!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Looks like @nuddypants.bsky.social is still going really well. Got the long steady climb up to High Cup Nip this morning and then the very long descent into Dufton before the Cross Fell challenge. Looks like Cross Fell will this evenings mission. Go Mel!

@lucygossage.bsky.social absolutely smashing the #SpineRace and looks likes she taken a well earned break with the lovely Helen at Horneystead Farm!

If Nicky Spinks isn’t your hero then you seriously need to have a word with yourself! Awesome! #spinerace @spinerace.bsky.social

MILES!!! Off course!!!! @spinerace.bsky.social #spinerace

Ouch… just what you need… MORE miles! Looks like Raf missed the diversion, and took on some EXTRA @spinerace.bsky.social miles!

Gutted for David and Jonny, looks like their @spinerace.bsky.social adventure is over this year. Raf and @nuddypants.bsky.social still pushing on though! My favourites tab is getting smaller and smaller… 😬

Nice that 3 of “my” dots have decided to stick together to make or easier to follow them! Very considerate 😁

Watching these dots is way easier than being a dot 🤣🤣🤣

What a day to be out there!

REALLY hope Raf (261) gets there this year… being pulled at HUT2 in ‘23 was horrific! Long way to go… @spinerace.bsky.social

Dots at the ready… favourites sorted!

Here for the @spinerace.bsky.social to ease the FOMO!!! 😁😁😁
