Carpathius Oct 2021 9:04pm, 7 Oct 2021 21,160 posts	0 Carpathius I'd forgotten that, although I think the wind shoved you so it wasn't really your fault! (Windy in this context was "struggle to stay upright and in a vaguely straight line" sort of windy).
Fragile Do Not Bend Oct 2021 6:50pm, 8 Oct 2021 8,781 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend I have a very important question. Am I right in thinking there isn’t a finisher’s T-shirt included? I don’t want to buy one if I’m going to get given one anyway.

Fragile Do Not Bend Oct 2021 6:54pm, 8 Oct 2021 8,782 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend Thanks. I’ve got the Great South Run the week before so I’m starting to get some details muddled between the two races 😅 I’ll order a shirt.
