Annie - I checked on the facebook page and the RDs confirmed that all those overcome by the heat were able to get home without the need of a hospital.
Its times like saturday that make me very grateful that i'm trained in first aid and restored my faith in humanity a little when so many people stopped and offered to help. Some people root for times - others were so willing to forego the time to help another runner out.
My first time doing this race and whilst I found the heat very hard to deal with, the race itself is great. Fab organisation, great support - thank you to the guys who shouted "Come on Wales" every time I went over the timing mats! Even though I am definitely a lover of cold, wet races, I'd be tempted to do this one again.
And Emmy - thanks for the much needed cuddle at the end
An excellent race again, I don't like running in the heat but managed a 6 minute PB so can't complain. And coincidentally I finished in exactly the same position as last year! I've only done 2 marathons, this year's and last year's KRR, and the organisation is just so good I'm sure if I do a different one I'll be comparing it to TZ's efforts!
Ian and his team certainly know how to put on an event.

Great that everyone recovered ok, it was really hot but great for spectators.

I do anything for a cuddle
