Yep, thanks to all the marshals. Found it a lot tougher than I expected, but at the same time my training was very hit and (mostly) miss so that's a lesson for me. It was much more off-road than I was expecting, I'd guess less than 50% was actually on road.
Be nice to post a review but I can't see an option to rate the 2011 event, or am I just being dim?
