I was the support crew and so I enjoyed my book and cup of tea in the light drizzle at Traquair House (the oldest inhabitated house in Scotland, did you know, and visited by 28 kings!). Luckily it was a good book because when the 1st wet and muddy runner came in a long 1hr 24 had passed.
What was even more amazing, was that shortly after the first runner (22 minutes to be precise), Mark came in, finishing an incredible 31st out of 525 finishers (never mind those losers who didn't turn up or didn't finish), which was seriously spectacular. I was so proud he even got a congratulatory hug in his wet, muddy, cold and sweaty state. Mmm.
I've stolen some photos off the Deerstalker website so you can see what fun he had on the course (http://deerstalker.cmsdevsite.com/):

Congratulations Mark. Great effort! I'm sure dad would have something witty to say about "deerstalkers" but he's away for 3 days on a geog trip to Kaikoura. It keeps him out of mischief!
Thanks for being such a loyal support "crew" Sylvia!
Looks like an awesome mission. I might have to come over next year for it... :-)
Sylvia, whats up? Why didn't you run? You could have whipped his arse.
Dad's back and he wondered if it was something like a stag party!????? In hind sight he realises it probably wasn't!!!!!
