Mumber 3 it was my pleasure, we were both in the same proverbial boat and I have made the mistake of trying to catch up too quickly in the past and suffered for it, didn't want you doing the same :-))
I had another of my crappy days but it was lovely to see those I saw///////
Which one were you, not the one who ran into the bollard?
If anyone was wondering, I was the bloke in the Nike 10k long-sleeved top hopping up and down on one leg while clutching the other and shouting obscenities. Easy to spot.
It was a shame, really, cos I was having a great time until then, even though I was accused of being a "mentalist" for wearing shorts at the start.
RW - what news please of the man who was receiving treatment at the end?
I wasn't in this run but I was out doing 2 laps in the same direction and had a morale-boosting time overtaking some of you! Looked like the usual well-organised thing, and I was relieved I hadn't opted to go anti-clockwise.
Anyone with GPS got a measurement to offer from the field?
Here's a quick update on the chap who collapsed at the end. The gentleman suffered a heart attack but is currently in a stable condition in hospital. Thanks have to be given to the two doctors who were, luckily, running in his group and the paramedics for the prompt action taken after his collapse. We'll keep you updated if we hear any more news.

I don't think that we took the detour in the 9min group - We took the main path through the wood to the road next to the Sheen Gate, crossed the road onto the path and followed it to the Roehampton Gate, passing to the North of Adam's Pond. I guess that the detour goes South from the Gate, towards the mini roundabout?
thanks for the update on the guy, fingers crossed all is ok, had been worrying about him and so had my friend Barry who saw him being taken away.
p.s. is that Icon of yours Gonch from Grange Hill?
Thank you RW and all the helpers- much appreciated
Good run, although have found the cold is really beginning to affect my knees - and although I thought an 8am start was cold - it seemed colder after 10am when the sun had gone in!
Anyone know of any runs on the easter weekend?
Once again - best wishes to the chap taken ill.
did anyone have any run ins with overly aggresive mountain bike riders? I had one guy loudly shouting "move out the way" as he came whizzing past at about 30mph, plus another one who deliberately went through a puddle right next to us getting us wet as he went past, I am wondering if they realise that we are all there to share the park equally and to enjoy it, there is plenty of room on the path for everyone and all they have to do is calmly sounds their bell, if they have one, or give us advance notice of their approach.
The trouble is that since they built that path, it's extremely popular - 10 years ago it used to be quite difficult to get round the park at this time of year and involved some fairly heavy-duty mud-wading.
What's more, the nice people who run the park are quite harsh on issuing fines to bikers who stray off the path, as well as restricting its parking and closing its gates to motorists, so I can understand a level of frustration.
I was on the wrong side of the angry mountain biker - were you in the 11m/m group? I was in the fluro jacket and navy baseball cap! Nearly got run off the path by him as he shouted!!
Thanks Gonch for the update on the poorly guy, worrying about him too since I heard.
Anyone doing 11mins at Silverstone??
