In full: Will be back next year - can't wait!! Impressed by the amount of marshalls - dont remember the hills as much as the mud. Could really have done with a wash in the river!!

In short: Great time again
In full: Two comments..
1. The information posted out didn't have the start time on. I needed to look this up
2. The race started a few minutes early! It was my fault I should have been there early, but just as I got to the start everyone was off.
As for the other comments, great race, great organisation, real good fun. I would recommend this race to everyone. Avon Valley do a great job here (ignore my earlier two comments I'm nit-picking). All the marshalls are friendly, hot (well warm) mince pies at the end, and plenty of mud.
