Blimey, there are some ok ones of me in there - and the usual shite ones; I was 3696 and looking as miserable as sin down the finishing straight :-)

God the photos are hideous! But there is one of me on the finish straight where I look like I'm laughing...........Think I'd gone past the point of normality at that point!

Glad to hear the runner is OK, they were attending to him as I crossed the line, what a fright his poor wife must have got to be called for :-(

Glad he is improving a bit. Reading the comments on fb, it shows how important it is to fill in the emergency details on the back of your race number.

Indeed. I gave my sister a massive lecture on that on the day: she has never filled on in apparently! Even in the VLM last year. How she thinks people will know who to contact if things went wrong.

I can too easily picture my very clumsy self tripping up and knocking myself unconcious so always fill them out (not wanting to think of the more seroius reasons).

My photos from the official pics are hideous. This is also the first race that the boy hasn't managed to get one of me smiling and waving like a loon.

I think it bought home to me the importance of road id. Do fill in the back of your number but also wear one of these.
