Hmm it was a tough call, and the weather was admittidly much worse than forecast. However, the wind had died down and I personally feel the race shouldn't have been altered. It was wet, granted, but I don't think that in itself should have meant the alteration that it did - the race is meant to be one of the toughest in the country after all.

Having said that, I completely understand that its easy for me to say that and I wholeheartedly respect the decision of the RO - it can't be easy making such decisions with such a responsibility. And anyway, I thouroughly enjoyed the race, as did everyone else I spoke to, so at the end of the day, does it matter if the route was a little different!? Already looking forward to next year!
