The committee would like to take this opportunity of wishing all competitors the very best of luck.  No doubt you have all been training towards peak fitness, which will pay off on Saturday.  We have been keeping a close eye on the weather forecast, or to be precise on all of the weather forecasts!  As no two forecasts predict the same thing, we advise marshals to come equipped with sun tan lotion and wellies!  Hopefully only the competitors will get wet.
