Advised after race their were more down front where I was supposed to start but I was not to know this. Oh well it is sunny outside today so lets enjoy some free running

Much smaller of course but very friendly and well organised over a very scenic if tough course. The long walk to the start accompanied by Pipers almost made it into an ultra but otherwise it was great

Judithvr6 May 2014 3:20pm, 30 May 2014 20 posts	Quote Pin Judithvr6 I thought the loo arrangement at the bottom (excuse the pun) of the Regent Road start was very good. Two queues 'Toilets' and 'urinals' and if a bloke was in the toilet queue you knew why ;)... then the long toilet queue was split up into lines for specific portaloos by marshalls with loud speakers.... My mistake was then getting into a line with a bloke in it. He took ages in there!! LOL
