Instead there will be a variety of flavours of 'Body Fuel Drink' in 500ml bottles at the half way and finish" Still nothing about the chair lifts thou

It was dry that day but they were perfect: there's a bit of mud on the course, and they're very handy for grip on the steep slopes. TBH, there's not so much that you can get into a long steady rhythm on, so you're unlikely to miss the cushioning, especially over the 1/2 distance.
