I started off Group 30 (25:55) and managed to finish 8th...started pretty hard and managed to maintain it most of the way...one guy who started behind me passed me but I passed him back...gotta love that last k!

ran without gloves (I'd only remembered when I was halfway there)...did two lots of caching after that - the first lot on my way home and the second lot with the whole gang...
