Clairster - No. When I went to get my number they said it wasn't there. I got shovelled from pillar to post until they begrudgingly gave me another number and goody bag (the important bit !). Using my Holmes like powers of deduction I have noticed that Jamie Barry, the name above mine does not show up or his number on the results. Either he has given them my number by mistake or they've given him mine. Did no one notice the fact is said Michael on the front when they checked i.d ?

TBB - you still on here moaning about your number when the thousands of us that actually ran the race nearly died from hypothermia ;-) :-) to be honest the ID check was fairly cursory and I'm pretty sure I could have used anybody's ID and they would have given me the number. You up for a slowish 10 or so on Sunday somewhere?

Nobody even asked me for id when collecting my number - I went in and said my number, the girl asked "Is it Stephen?" and I said yes. She asked me to sign the sheet and went and got my bag, then we had an entertaining conversation about which size shirt I wanted.

I seriously think a long jail sentence is in order for Xtra Mile.
