Sunday saw an epic turn out for all races and some pretty good fights. Thank you to all the volunteers, coaches and participants. An especially big thank you to everyone who helped organise, set-up\/take-down the course, assist in sign-on, timing, food etc, and thank you to our wonderful marshalls. We would not be able to make these events happen without all your support and the time you gave up to be there. Another thank you to everyone who took part in the races and also a big well done to you all. Now, a week off before we see everyone again in Reading on the 27th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
