I can understand Sharon's frustration, however I didn't think Lloyd had ever done the Ben Nevis Fell Race? Sharon must have done it about 6-7 times.

Only 2 seconds apart at the finish, but when did Jackie overtake Sharon?

What's a leadout? A pacer?

Seems a bit OTT to me. Lloyd directed all the runners that he saw down a certain route including Angela Mudge, and then just ran near Jackie for a short while. Hardly a problem.

damm you have rumbled me ;) millipede

anyway yes lloyd did direct some of us down the muddy short cut off the zig zag path, im not sure if he meant it or not , but at the time i shouted a big cheers to lloyd , in all fairness jackie and sharon both came by me as my legs were gone and they both looked strong
i think they are both exceptional runners and i was chuffed to bits to finish not far behind them
i think the short cut saved a few seconds if that
