In short: It was not just the first mile marker. Mile 7 marker was 20 yards before the 1 mile to go. Mile 8 was 300m before the finish!

In short: Nicely organised with good marshaling. Can we have a different medal next year? Sad to discover that my 5:05 for the first mile is not a PB, since the others say it wasn't a mile. Boo hoo!

In short: The Hill was Fun, the Downhill was better!
In full: The Mile Markers appeared to be incorrect or I was going really quick up the hill. I was also slightly concerned about the danger from the cars.
