All time results

[Tim]

Well, I've cobbled all the new results together and you can now download a copy if you want.

http://www.zen31010.zen.co.uk/Files/WHWresults.xls

We now have a total of 639 people who have run the WHW race at one time or another (or on many occasions). The table show 640 but that's because there are three Craig Stewarts listed when there should be only two. The trouble is, I don't know which Craig ran this year. I'd be grateful if anyone can clear this up. Hate to attribute a race time to the wrong person!

I've also uploaded a version in alphabetical order for those not comfortable with re-sorting excel tables.

If anyone spots any mistakes, please let me know!

See my FB reply, Tim... Craig Stewart (Forfar), who finished just minutes ahead of me.

Cheers Pete. I think that's it sorted now. Sure there will other errors though.

[peter duggan]

Aren't 211 Donnie Campbell (Skye man!) and 133 Donald Campbell one and the same? (Sure someone said he'd done it before a little quicker.)

[peter duggan]

And Paul Tranter should have a 2011 finishing time. But afraid these are just random lucky observations and I've not been checking anything systematically for you!

[Tim]

I suspect Donnie and Donald are the same person but until someone tells me if they really are, I feel happier listing them seperately.

Regarding Paul Tranter, can't see his name anywhere in this year's results.

[peter duggan]

Now that's strange, because Paul's listed at #53 (25:15:00) in the printed sheets we got at the prizegiving and I remember his name being called out (which is why I noticed his omission from this year in the new all-time), but that place and time are given at http://www.westhighlandwayrace.org/Hist ... sults.html to Peter Halpin. So maybe best check with Committee?

[Adrian Stott]

Brief reply to petes very valid point. Paul Tranter,totally gutted and obviously disappointed ,pulled out at Rowardennan with what seemed to be an ankle problem.
Recording error led to him being listed instead of Pete Halpin on the sheets printed and given out at prize giving,(they were race numbers 64 and 66 which got transposed as things do at 2am in the morning!!) .Aware of a few typos and errors ,all results were checked before going up on the website.Sorry to peter and paul for any confusion, and to anyone else who has been scratching their heads over this and other typos.
re master results. was looking at Tim'S excellent spreadsheet on train back up from london last night.
there are indeed two Donnie Campbell's as there are two Craig Stewart's(both incidentally from frofar although one(the younger (faster) one) now liives in london. Will have a thought as to how best to distinguish and will be in touch with Tim.
Also Alan Young must be having a real identity crises as there seem to be three of them!! one is certainly our good friend who takes the nice photos and spent saturday night of the race helping to compile the results at the sports centre. I recall one may be a chap who was stationed up at Lossie for a few years and ran for Moray RR and certainly did a few road marathons and ultras at the time and was generally keen to have a go at anything!!.
Tim, i will look in the "Stott Archives "and get back to you but remind me if i dont!

When I spoke with Donnie (Skye Man) between Lundavra and Ft Willam, he said he had run in it 21 od before...

Great job Tim - thanks !!

Hi,

My time is an hour faster than it should be.

sarah kirsty williams (58th) took 25 hours 44 minutes. Not 24 hours 44 minutes.

I don't want to make it even harder to get a pb next year!

Kirsty.

there are two Craig Stewart's(both incidentally from frofar although one(the younger (faster) one) now liives in london.

Now that is confusing, and it looks like I've just made FB friends with the one I didn't race against on Saturday (@younger, London/Forfar, Craig... happy to be friends anyway!). But still pretty sure the 2010 18:27:02 belongs to one and the 2011 20:41:37 and 2010 21:36:23 to the other.

You mean I've messed it up now? I think a bit more investigation is needed. I think we need a system like Equity for actors whereby no two runners are allowed to have the same name.

I think I've sorted the Donnies (spoken to one on the phone today). Hadn't realised that there were two Alan Youngs though!

We defo do!! There are two Mark Hamiltons from Ayrshire running ultras....caused me no end of confusion when he entered the Clyde Stride
At least our DQ is easy to spot due to his face being all over youtube

Hey TIm,
Sorry to be a pain but you have me down twice, I ran it this year and back in 2007, Michelle Russell this year but was McCormick back in 2007.
Cheers

Don't be silly. You're not being a pain at all. It's great to get the results archive improved and all feedback is very gratefully received.

Brief reply to petes very valid point. Paul Tranter,totally gutted and obviously disappointed ,pulled out at Rowardennan with what seemed to be an ankle problem.

Yes, that was me, would have loved to have a 2011 finish time, but had what turned out to be sino tendonitis (base of the shin, right ankle). Came on almost as soon as the race started and just got increasingly painful (and yes, I know some people keep on running even with broken bones in their ankle....but this hurt!). Tried changing shoes at Balmaha, but that made no difference and knew as I came into Rowardennan that the race was over (thanks for the consoling pat on the back Adrian, was very hard to stop).

Still, drugs and icing all last week seem to have helped, physio has also prescribed stretching exercises, might be able to try running again in a few days. Roll on 2012......

What about one wee sweeper with two names.
All together now " There's only two Karen Donahues, Two Karen Donaghues!"

Last night I received a copy of the 1990 results from Alan Young which means that the archive is almost complete! I've added them to the archive and also highlighted the winners from each year so that you can see not just what any runner's time is but whether they won or not. Please excuse the pink & blue colour scheme but using bolder colours made it hard to read.

It's worth taking a note of Kate Jenkins remarkable record of 7 wins in 7 finishes!

Anyway, the links haven't changed. It's still http://www.zen31010.zen.co.uk/Files/WHWresults.xls for the time ordered results and http://www.zen31010.zen.co.uk/Files/WHWresultsalpha.xls for the alphabetically sorted ones.

If anyone knows any of the runners from the 1985-1988 era who might know the whereabouts of the 1987 results I'd be grateful if you could ask around. It would be great to finish the archive.

Great work, Tim. It's fascinating to see the (almost) full sets of results. I hope someone is able to produce 1987 and make up the full set. I've had a look in my papers but sadly no results from the year. The only thing I have is a note that says
"1987 saw a return to the established direction of running, South - North. Seven from eleven starters arrived in Fort William."
Hopefully someone will know who the 7 were, and their times.
