Why is it called an ultra. Shouldn't it be renamed the ' 3 and a bit miles less than a marathon' run?

Massive thankyou to all involved with today, you are all fantastic, waterstations, drinks/gels waiting for me, encouragement, everything. Just brilliant!
Big thanks to Clive and Lynne (for driving and scaring the life out of me with just how far it was, and for the bucket of cold water to cool off my swelling feet at the end!) Lynne makes a great cup of tea too!
Enjoyed today, even the route was nice. Glad the wind was behind us most of the way around though!
Hope everyone else had a positive run today, roll on London/Paris/Halstead etc!
Very Happy

I'll second that steff, a big thankyou to everyone who took time out to help with the water stations/driving/support etc today. Especially to Clive and Lynne for everything they do, not just today but all year. Also a special thanks to Keith Burrett who drove and gave excellent support today, cheers mate.
Hope everyone had a good run.
All the best

well done to all that ran today. Impressed to see so many Benfleet runners out braving the winds and the distance. again, well done.

and of course well done to clive and lyn. from a marshalls point of view a very well organised run, i had no problems with instructions or directions. excellent.

Yeah, echo the lads comments. Excellent run that wouldn't have happened without great organisation and the drivers giving up their Sundays.
Special thanks to the Peters who ran Saturday and this afternoon so that they were available to drive.
What a great team of people!!!!

What a brilliant day's training, I left Lyn's & Clive's on such a high & that's thanks to all of you who took part in making this day good. The biggest thanks goes to Lyn & Clive of course for their dedication & organisation, thanks guys. I'm going to miss Dom & Jenny, their support is second from none.

Right! now I've said my bit, i'm going back to my beer so I'll catch you guys laters

Aye, it almost gets boring saying it every year doesn't it...almost. Superb organisation from Clive & Lyn, ably supported by a generous and very much appreciated fleet of drivers. BRC - what a great club!

Cant say anymore than already said, had a fantastic day and all the support was brilliant, thanks to lyn for making my day by telling me i now got a marathon place.

A special thanks to Dom and even more so Jenny she is a diamond and will be sadly missed.

O and thanks Steve Des for making me freeze my bits off in a dustbin full of water, not as good as the pool in the Algarve, but at least im able to walk today.
