Why has no one mentioned the awesome cakes and foodstuffs available at the finish?
This should be the main reason for doing this and the Two Riggs race the following Tue or Wed.
Unfortunately I got a DNF last year, to go with my DNF at Two Riggs the year before... seems there's a jinx in St. Johns in the Vale for me.
So instead I'll do a swim, bike, run thingemy on the Sunday.
But it is VERY steep up, I was close to dropping out before the climb given I don't do heights. There was NO way I would have dreamed of going up there on my own, but with plenty of bodies to cushion any fall I thought I was safe...
