mrs s - it was towards end of May that entries opened this year, I think BAM tend to stick to similar timetable for all their events, so plenty of time to forget how bad the weather was, and only remember the good bits ;-)

Metro_Nome, I managed to run most of the downhill section from Glenogle Head down to the bridge as we came into Killin, and then I was a bit bushed. I didn't think anyone would be overtaking me and I knew I'd just missed the 7 hour marker, so to my shame I took it easy down Main Street, run-walking.

So I was frankly a bit miffed (with myself really) when you came past me like SirMo on the final lap. Well done on that finish :-)

Just seen a video of the start. _Andy was leading the entire field!

Yeah, sorry about that...

I'd just popped into a (no queues whatsoever) portaloo, and when I wandered to the road, found everyone waiting for the start and the countdown was just starting.

Don't worry, I happily jogged along the main strret of Killin, chatting to the people I used to race against. Made sure I'd lost 45 places by the top of that first climb so I could then enjoy the day out.

Good stuff Speedy K5 Gus
My hat's in the ring too. It's GO33 - The Rematch, with Metro_Nome, if she's brave enough... ;-)

Wise call - I mean to stand back and enjoy what you do, and not just enter races 'cos some fat bloke tries to goad you into a rematch. Even though things were nicely poised at one all. It's good that you don't feel the need to prove you're the best despite any provocation.

Chicken ;-)
