In short: Excellent fun. Tough but fun.
In full: I really enjoyed this and wanted to do it ever since I heard about it 2009 but missed out on entry in 2010.
Atmosphere is superb. Am not a fast runner but was not troubled by the mass start - this is what I usually experience so have no wave start to compare it to.
Shame about running out of mementoes - I did not miss out - but it must have been v disappointing for those who did. I gather this is far from typical of Dr Rob and that he will be remedying the situation pronto.
Some really nice free photos on the Trionium website which is most unlike other races, and looking forward to seeing the results up online later.
Glad I wore silly/fancy dress - you really should even if you are a serious runner, it makes the atmosphere super-special and the second-placed male runner finished in full Spartan regalia including sword and helmet.
I really want to do it again in 2012, now that my rose-tinted spectacles are repaired, and those that came to support me are convinced they will make it their first time next year.
Oh and the fact that it was such a nutty race was, I am sure, a factor in folks sponsoring £2k for kids' cancer charity Ali's Dream. Yay!
Bring on 2012!
