Vicksta Oct 2008 6:55pm, 12 Oct 2008 3,403 posts	0 Vicksta I did Rotterdam in 2007 when it was 32 degrees and they shut the race down cos there were so many casualties. Running in the heat is not fun. I was 15 mins down on projected time then. Both Wiz and Sarah did really well.
Limpet Oct 2008 6:55pm, 12 Oct 2008 252 posts	0 Limpet I was there in 2007, once you got over the finish line and you went off you feet they took you to the med tent. All I could here was runner down, runner down. I just kept telling myself stay on you feet and find some water, luckily I found a shady tree and collasped there.
