Thanks to everyone who came along and all the spectators and of course all of the marshalls and our Medic Dr Fiona, brilliant job yet again, especially Dan who wrote down all the split times for you.

The later start time seems to be working well, if you want to enter but are not sure you could make it for 7, let me know and I will start you at the back of the field.
