Colinzealuk Last minute decision (again!) to run it, very happy with time tho considering the temperature - note to organisers... 3pm on a Sunday in July will probably be too hot to run in!

Beat an old mate from school by 5 minutes too, which is always nice :o) Barnet & District AC, Watford Harriers AC 44:09 44:09 44:09 63.26
Hills of Death (HOD) Was I in the Saraha with hills ? They kept us waiting 20 mins at start so was dehydrated. Ran it with my mate who did 54 mins. Very challenging enjoyed it in a sadistic sort of way. Very cruel to lead us to think it was finishing when you entered the park only to do a lap. Near joined the lads at the top of the big hill outside the pub. Barnet & District AC, Riverside Runners 59:16 59:16 50:00 59:16 47.55

Ronnie Wibbley Very very hot - knew I was going to have problems before I left the park 200 yards from the start! Normally the heat doesn't bother me too much but today was something else. Heart rate was at least 15 beats higher than it would normally be throughout and hit a high of 197 just before the finish. I don't think I've ever felt as uncomfortable in a race as today, which is a shame as it's such a friendly event. 

PS: In retrospect, going down with chicken pox the day afterwards is a clue why I was feeling so rotten... Watford Joggers 49:06 49:06 49:06 60.90
