Sorry to hear you had a tough race this year Doug.

I think really that it's only about a couple of dozen or so top runners who look upon it as a race. The rest like Doug, look upon it more as a fun run and charity fund raiser. Since it was started it has raised many millions of pounds in sponsorship for many charities.

The Biggest half marathon on the face on the planet gets no national newspaper coverage harldy...but soon as the London marathon comes it will be a double page spread.

This is typical I'm afraid. The media seem to think that the world ends at North Watford. They just don't know that some of the best countryside exists after Watford, as well as some of the best brains in the country, and of course, the best looking bloke in the country.

Reminds me of the man in the golf club who remarked "I'm a country member" and his companion replied " Yes, I remember!"
