13. You are allowed a support team if you choose. Support teams should not access the course
but use the many road crossings on the route. They are able to move your drop bag for you.
Your support team can offer resupply, medical support and assist other athletes at their
discretion. You can use your support vehicle to sleep in, if you wish.
14. Athletes with a support team will be classed as ‘Supported’.
An amazing performance/victory for Tom. Mind blowing how he tracked down the lead two from being so far behind and then pulled away from them. Lovely video on Spine FB of him coming into the finish hall, sitting down and then falling asleep within the space of 5 seconds.
Big shout out for Carol Morgan's amazing dominance of the event. Also, well done everyone else. Mightily impressive.
