'Late start' (2 back), as i said to you on the day - my mum had exactly the same thing happen to her last year, it was hysterical. I think she must have hand washed her kit, and didn't rinse properly - she was frothing like a cappucino! There is a salutory lesson for all runners here- unless you want dusting off with cocoa powder at the finish line, rinse out your gear!! Cat

Mind you, Cat, frothing my way round meant I didn't need to worry about not having showers at the finish!

No, I hadn't hand washed it myself (two back). I'd borrowed it off one of my daughters ... but the only thing that stopped me running every step of the 10K was laughing so much about frothing at the knees. It is such things that make memories to smile at, hey LateStart?

Cat, Tothero: Oops, looks like a little family tiff brewing over the source of last year's foaming running gear! Yep, these things are indeed memories to smile at...

Has anyone seen any photos or was it too wet?

Running Bob go to www.hayhotfooters.co.uk and there are a few photos at the mo and more to come in from official photographer of the day. Ma - you've gone and blown the fact we are related now everyone knows!!! They'll see right through your favorable 'anonymous' comments from Tothero last year and this!! Der!! By the way what is Tothero?

Thanks Cathy.

And thanks for the photo of the Roundabout which now has pride of place on my office wall.

Ace. I just wanted to give the winners something better than a ruddy plastic trophy and wanted to celebrate the actual 'roundabout'! We love it up there. All commendations to Jo, who took the photos, and is also our fab timekeeper on the day.

Can I just take this opportunity to bow out on the forum, and the Race. I am onto projects new, and am leaving the race as Director, which I know will go from strength to strength, in the more than capable hands of the Hay Hotfooters. You will also have wonderful weather next year (see i used the word!!) .

All the very best to you all,

Cat
