In short: Once again a superb day out and a superb momento the best tshirt of the year. How about some championchips and some pens at the start, still far to many slow runners at the front.

In short: There were a record 47,000 running this year (2003) which showed when reaching bottle-necks in the course. You had to slow right down because of the amount of people trying to get through. A PB was not on the cards from start to finish.
