It was bloody hard though-i think the run in on the road is the worst-i had to walk on the flat!! Completely out of gas!
Thanks for the organisation-i was staying at the Pendle Inn and saw the team setting everything up. The time and effort required by all these volunteers is much appreciated. :)
Apparently 2 runners dropped out and didnt return to race HQ to let people know.
I will never understand this? How many times did Kieran tell everyone at the start-if you drop out let a marshall know, let the finish line know. How much time does it take and how much extra stress does this cause the poor organiser? Madness.
It was a great day-thankyou very much-back next year-sub 3 hours!
:)
Unbelievable. :eek:Quote:

Never mind that, how about just some common chuffing courtesy?:mad:Quote:

Sorry to hear you had a bit of a duffer. Better luck next year.:)Quote:

Thanks to Wharfeego for assisting also.Quote:
