Thanks Mile Muncher and congrats to everyone. By the way Mrs Jigs, I think you won a category as your name was certainly called out, but you must have gone or been outside! Well done! Incidentally, we did indeed observe 30s silence for Bert Tarpley. Stunning scenery today, which made it easier to endure the challenging bits |

Mr Tarpley's grandson(?) started the race today. If I'd known about the free cake I'd have hung around a bit longer

Yes I heard the race director mention that MM. Ref the cake, I intended to have some, but really find it difficult to eat anything at all after a long race, irrespective of how appetizing it may look |

Does anybody have details of the photographer at the end? There is no mention of pics on their website and doesn't appear to be any contact details on there at all to email and ask ?? |

Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs)
I got a nice call out from the photographer he told me to chase after the 2 guys in front, I didn't up my pace but they soon came back to me anyway, I passed them both
