Stumpy Jul 2008 10:19am, 4 Jul 2008 7,332 posts	Stumpy course changed a while back when they planted a load of trees in our starting straight! we thought it could be a leetly bit dangerous so we switched it into reverse and it seems to be working OK (apart from the people who think the course goes straight from the playground to the fountain - naughty!!!) Greg, most people have found it very slightly quicker this way round to be honest! I hated the long straight to the finish before - too long to stay focused on. I like twists etc as it is 'push to the bridge', 'push to the road' 'hang in til the tree' 'ooooh finishing straight!' but each to their own. yup I will be there.

I pointed out that this isn't a race it is a time trial focused on the individual development of each runner. I was told that they each intended to individually develop their running so they finish in front of the other one. This should be quite funny Now what sort of fuelling should I provide tonight? Beer and pizza? tick.
