Great race!  Pleased to come 5th in 2:02:49 - was on for sub 2hr (and 3rd) until about mile 15 when the wheels come off badly.

The organisation and the marshalling were top notch - a really good job by all!  Not so fond of the course though - few too many hills and sharp turns for my liking.  The section off-road though was far worse - rutted, uneven and a right royal pain in the backside.  Is there no way it could be avoided next year? It was unfitting for such an otherwsie brilliant race.

I'm in - doing this one, the SDW50 before and the NDW100 too. 

Another minimlaist, but not as minimal as you, B2B! I train and race in the NB Minimus range.

WiB - thanks for the feedback on the course - most helpful.

Ran my age to celebrate my birthday today - 41M on NDW.  Felt strong t/out and had plenty in the tank at end.  Definitely could've done 50.  So that's not my race pace I guess...

Never raced a 20M before, so we'll see.  Marathon pace I know - I can gear down and get it done. Half marathon pace I know too - can push that pace okay.  I reckon 20M is a tricky one to pace correctly to get the best time possible.  We'll see...
