Duchess Jun 2017 6:40pm, 24 Jun 2017 7,561 posts	Quote Pin Duchess And what that record will never state is that it was done on a day when the wind and rain over the last few legs was as brutal as I've seen in a Scottish summer. *Currently lying down before heading back for part three of the marshalling shift.

Fas start, then a fall (I think) and hence really tough end to his race, but incredibly determined to finish and brought it home in 24:44. Amazing as always to be involved in this race. Really tough conditions this year 1 or 2C at Glencoe, with 50mph winds, squally showers, wet, cold and very, very hard going. So respect to everyone who started and congratulations to those who finished. Big KJT was my horse and he battled home for a good time, again showing enormous determination. Brilliant atmosphere, amazing marshalling and support. And huge emotion at the prize giving. Rob Sinclair's new record is just incredible. Well done all. G
