In full: This race is great for mountain goats,Found it tough going but would probably do it again.Got lost at about the 10k point,dont know how but we had a little group of about 15 people wandering about until we found the right track again.Not happy that all the XL t-shirts had gone by the time i finished only medium left. 12.63miles by my garmin.

In full: Is it me or do the hills get bigger every year.The start system this year seemed to work alot better for me with more water stations and better organisation.Once again a fantastic atmosphere from the runners and the supporters are amazing but the course is not a PB course unless you are at the front.
