Anybody know what time of the day it starts? Web site does not say much ...
You might like to know that I managed a word with the manager/coach of the 2nd place guy. He was complaining about the hills. I pointed out that the race description said "undulating" to which the response was "Yes, but I didn't know it was going to be as ******* undulating as that!"
PS I'll be the one in the yellow jerkin saying come on you're looking good.
Looking forward to it again this year,if only for the climb at the end...the painnnnn....good luck all,hopefully not to hot.
Got my number today - 404. I always feel good when I've got a number stuck to my fridge door.
The organizers could ask for no higher recommendation than that!
2 questions if anyone can help:-
1) says undulating but can someone give us newcomers a feel as this definition seems to include a wide variety of courses.
2) where are the drinks stations and how does it come e.g. bottles or cups (if the latter I may take my own bottle as water from cups end up down my front rather than in my mouth!).
MTM - 65 minutes!

12:00 Few Showers 18° From the West at 13 mph
Could be worse I suppose but the family have decided to not come along for a picnic and are leaving me to it - can't blame them!
I'll be in my Children Wish vest.
Finished in 1:48:3x, so a bit disappointed after aiming for 1:45. I was on target to about 9-10 miles, but after that the legs started to baulk at the inclines. Going uphill got harder and slower, converting uphill to level running went the same way, and the steam for the downhill bits was running out too. The gradients at miles 11 and 12 just about did for me. But still, not too bad.
As always a great event and an excellent venue. I don't drive, so can't comment on the parking (there have been issues in the past, apparently). Great course, enthusiastic and happy marshals, and definitely the best baggage hall around. Thumbs up to Burnham Joggers!
I can't fault this event at all and the hills were definately not bad, just added a bit of variety.
Just pleased to do an even paced longer run.
Not sure the lead runner should have had coaching from the bike rider behind him though!!
The schools a great place to hold the start. thats the first time , that I haven't had to que for the toilet. there were loads inside and they even put on some portaloos as well.
No problems parking, then I didn't expect anyone to brake into a Transit flatback truck.
I'm looking forward to next year allready.
Well done MTM and delighted to meet you at the end!
Hopefully the positive marks / comments being posted will encourage more people to come next year and make this event even more successful.
Good to have this race back - well organised, great course, great facilities.
Anyone know when the results will be up on the website?
