In short: Small and friendly yet hard core
In full: First ultra for me too yesterday and walked almost all the hills but ran the rest, the last few miles thanks to great support from fellow first timer Stewart -thanks again! Gorgeous views through the bluebell woods and from the downs, stunning tour of the best bits of the Marlborough downs. Not too dry and not too wet underfoot, and we were reminded at the start that if we could finish in under 4.5 hours we might not get wet. Ha ha. Excellent organisation with start and finish near Leisure centre. Plenty of checkpoints with hardy and lovely souls manning them. Bananas and coke please! I think the half a bourbon biscuit at checkpoint 7 finished me off. Piece of cake to naviagate having gone over the map beforehand and using the excellent route directions. Didnt even need to look at them until the field thinned a lot by the canal stretch. Great days run, great event, well done and thanks Marlborough running club, you have set the bar very high with this one.
