Running 50:00 [2] 9.0 km (5:33 / km)
shoes: Saucony
The big day.
Putting out controls, collecting in, running various errands at different speeds depending on level of panic.
All went smoothly in the end. Winning times long as expected, though Women's winning time longer than hoped until realising that the winner had lost so much time.
Hope anyone who ran the courses and reads this didn't mind the length too much - largely forced on us due to spectator / media / logistics considerations, and the courses could only really have been shortened by making them a lot less interesting. Ideally the Women's course would have been the Men's course!
