I'm considering whether or not to take the early start option on the FTOP this year. Although not an absolute back marker - there were finishers 1hr to 1.5 hrs behind me last year - I could comfortably set off half an hour ahead of most of the rest of the field and still be well down the order by the end. I'm mindful of the poor old marshals, and packing the finishers better seems like a good idea. On the other hand, I don't fancy setting off alone at 10.00. It wouldn't feel like I was in an event at all.
Is anyone else definitely starting at 10.00, or thinking about it?
