That's tough nuts Stolly. The only silver lining is that you did the right thing and you probably have received an anonymous credit to your Brownie Point account!

Good Morning or is it has I lay ere in agony with a sore body and a hangover. The race was my second time and a bit slower than last year, my back was killing me on the climb, but it was great views and freezing in parts. I think I prefer to do it in the clag you can't see what you are doing on the descent.my excuse is 14 pints over 2 days prior to the race
The friends of Nevis are handing out leaflets to suggest changes to protect the erosion.
1. Start the race in the town centre.
2. Make the runners go up the tourist path instead of the shortcuts.
3. More split times.
Anyway congratulations and thanks to all the runners, organisers, spectators and marshals. I will be back for a 3rd time to finally lose the tag of a roadrunner yes we don't slag the fellrunners off, but some fellrunners can't help slagging the roadies. Perhaps the fellrunners want to race these roadies in X-country and be more appreciate of them.
Sorry for the rant but when you have to put up with these comments from your own club members in get up your nose a bit and its like Jebby speech at the presentation last night about the rumour that the foreigner can't run or down hills Jebby said they certainly proved it yesterday. All they moan about was how cold it was on the top.
What a good day out that was on the Ben yesterday. Much better weather than last year led me to be almost 8 minutes faster! Can't complain about that!
Hope everyone else is OK and did well - I didn't see too many fallers this year and thankfully I also managed to stay upright.
Quite strange seeing those foreign types around with their strange hair dos!
I'm not keen on those proposed changes to the race. I forgot to fill in a card to express my dismay though. I couldn't imagine running into town at the end of the race - it's hard enough to get into the park! The other downside is that Kenny Stuart's record would go! Hopefully it won't transpire (and they won't make us run on the path all the way up and down either)...
