Deb,
Lets get this straight, you think it is quite a tough course but managed to knock 7 minutes off your P.B. ! Actually it is strange but it isn't what you would think of as a fast course but it was also my fastest last year. I know what you mean about cold, I was stood at the Crystal Palace at 6:30am. Before you ask I had to leave at 1pm so I don't know if the 100 mile record was broken but the leading Brit dropped out jst before I left. There were two Russians who were going well though. By the way at least Crystal Palace managed a draw at the weekend - I won't mention Arsenal's result !
