a brilliant race once more with perfect running weather-still, dry & not too sunny -so there shouldn't be too many screwed up faces in the masses of photos taken through the course! goodie bag with wine & body wash & tee-shirt & energy bar & energy gel & banana & water& chocolate & crisps &vouchers etc. most of us couldn't move after the food, & both Corrine & Krista won a spot prize. brilliant
