Fantastic day out and a very big thank you to all in involved. I treated this as a long training run because I knew that I was not ready to race it; so I took it very easy to Mam Nick and then upped the effort a little but kept it very steady. Didn't look at my watch after the cut off so was very chuffed with 4.13 at the finish (thought I was going to be much closer to 4.30); that's a whole 4 mins up on last year! Best of all I felt tired but fine at the end (unlike previous years when I've been absolutely done in); even the 5 hour + drive home didn't hurt too much. Congratulations to all the finishers, especially my fellow Brightonian.
Cheers - Raymond
p.s. Emmilou were you number 115 with the hand written number?
p.p.s. I forgot to say I discovered that whatever ability I had for running down hill has vanished; now where did I put it?
