In short: Ouch but good race!
In full: Good well organised race. Bit lonely for us extreme slowcoaches, but the marshals and St John volunteers were very cheery and I certainly thought I'd achieved something by the time I finished.

In short: The only down side of the event was the hideous T-shirts that were given out to all who completed the grueling course. They should have read "I completed the Terminator and all i got was this crappy T-shirt". T-shirts aside though(turned into a rag f

In short: my fifth terminator - the fastest yet !
In full: very dry this year, hence the fast times, the start was a all-out sprint until we got off the road - which was hard in trail shoes - but they did come into their own on the fast downhill sections - i did see the horses heading for the gate before I got the coombe - I was thinking "whats going to happen next" but I was too busy running to look back!
Sadly managed to get out sprinted at the finish. 9 minutes quicker than last year but 3 places down !!
Prehaps its time to make it longer again as I know the route too well !

In short: yes, knocked 33 mins off 2007 time and that's prob all due to the dry weather. Fantastic race and wonderful marshals.
