I was fortunate or maybe unfortunate to be at the Trig marshalling on todays race, it was so windy which really helped the Snake Hill Climb (bike) over yonder to a course record and six 13 minute and under times. For me and my little dog it was bloody freezing, she couldn't even bark encouragement. I saw a couple of tumbles and fortunately they were unscathed.
I also witnessed and nearly left my post in anger to chase.... someone blatently cut the corner although he could see everybody cutting off right to follow the flags to the Trig, one runner behind him followed but corrected his line, does he know who it was? It was annoying to watch him join the descending line of runners missing out a good half a kilometre, I would have definitely put him back on course.
Also the winner was disqualified for not carrying kit. I can assure you all it was cold up there.
Otherwise a great event, by the time I got back to the hut, all festivities had ceased.
