* 10 minute penalty for not carrying minimum kit throughout the race
** 10 minute penalty for Lhakpa Diki Sherpa: a friend carried her rucksack for at least part of the Thamo loop.
Mike Harper was very ill the night before the race and only got as far as Lobuche. He will join the elite who take 2 days to complete the course, the only other person to have done so being John Webster.
Tshiring Lama Yolm would have broken the record in 3.42.25, a massive 8 minute gain on Hari Roka's record. The 10 minute penalty did not affect the first 3 places but did affect the placing of Garry Wilkinson, Katherine Harvey and Steve Buswell.
