Nelly Apr 2012 2:35pm, 28 Apr 2012 397 posts	0 Nelly The forecast for Manchester has changed dramatically throughout the week. At one point it was predicting sleet and 40mph gales, now it's light rain and up to 23mph winds so nowhere near as initially feared. Today has been perfect running weather I just hope it's the same tomorrow.
Nelly Apr 2012 2:31pm, 29 Apr 2012 398 posts	0 Nelly Yipeeeeee, I did it at Manchester today (despite failing miserably at VLM last week)!!!! Chip times are not yet available but my gun time was 3:30:12 and it's also telling me it took 41secs to get over the start line, so by my Maths that's 3:29:31
