42 mins and I think 31 seconds - 85th place, got passed on the finish by 1 but other than that once the race got started to climb no one got past me, unless I passed them first (and again that was only 1). I was much slower than before, however not sure if overall field was slower than usual

Still not sure about your taste in music (sic) but you do prompt an interesting question about the Stoop:
Year Winner No "Middle Runner" Ratio
2004 30.43 220 43.04 1.40
2005 28.52 286 42.44 1.48
2006 30.12 322 46.03 1.53
2007 29.07 227 42.33 1.46
2008 32.11 288* 46.25* 1.44*
(* estimates from incomplete results)
The winning time at The Stoop is particularly affected by mud and varies a lot but it is interesting (to me anyway) to compare this with the time of the runner half way down the field who will be affected to a similar degree.
Not surprisingly the larger the field the higher this ratio ie the bigger the field the "weaker" the field but a cursory look at Sundays (incomplete) results suggests that everyone was affected similarly by the mud/wind.
