Big hand for coming back to apologise. Thank you.

P.S. - By all means raise issues about the organsiers/organisation - that is after all what the feedback is for.

In short: Apoligy to Marshalls
In full: I posted an angry posting on this event yesterday slagging off the marshalling of the event.

In the cold light of day I realise this was a stupid thing to do and should have calmed down before loading up the computer.

I apoligise to all the marshalls on the day. If I was marshalling in conditions like yesterday and then to get home to messages like mine I would be upset. I am sorry for the comments made.

I am not a prick all of the time but the passion got the better of me yesterday.

Sorry Marshalls

In short: Has the makings of a classic.
In full: I chose to do all 3 legs of this relay / 15 miler.Yes, the marshalling errors were not good for those affected and some of the signeage was unclear, but I had a fantastic morning out. Having listened to the race instructions and checked the route map before the run I managed to finish each leg back at the start and not go wrong on the way.
THe stepping stones across the Mole were fun, the steps up Box Hill were not. THe screaming run down Burford slope was amazing. Norbury Park leg was stunningly beautiful and realtively moderate. Ranmore out and back was a killer but what a finish.
Yup- oganisational errors were made (unusually and I'm sure the ETL guys will respond) but runners also have a responsibility to read the course info. THe field seemed fast and experienced so possibly both sides to take some blame.
THis race has the potential to become a classic with excellent facilities at the start and some incredibly beautiful scenery.
