    I've got a simple target of 3:17 for next year to beat. however i wont be signing up for this again - and please you must all remind me of this come january! It is very very hard!
    Daleside - reading your post has got me tempted for next year..........you can speed past me on the final stretch if you want............do I need to lie down in a darkened room..........

    Some storming runs form Daz, Fleeter. Well done everybody for yesterday.

    great race
