Watford Wobble May 2012 7:36pm, 6 May 2012 1,714 posts	0 Watford Wobble I'm ready and raring to go. I'm mentally adopting the attitude the first 21 miles are a gradual inclination.

Tarahumara May 2012 11:24am, 7 May 2012 537 posts	0 Tarahumara Yes, it is mostly downhill after the first 10 miles and not all of that is up methinks Love the half and hoping the full will also leave me with that "love that race" feeling
clairster May 2012 12:17pm, 7 May 2012 1,103 posts	0 clairster there is a patch, around 16M where it really does look like you are going uphill, but it is all an optical confusion! but if you have done the half, it is no bother at all and the 1st 10 are easy uphills miles, just gradually winds it way uphill very gently (http://connect.garmin.com/activity/88756807) its a wee gem of a race

clairster May 2012 4:17pm, 7 May 2012 1,106 posts	0 clairster likewise BW scotty - they are generally pretty good, but if it is a hot day like a couple years ago...they provide water and squash in cups..
