I saw the problem in the car park. I was at the bottom of the field as well and got out fine. The trick is not to floor the accelerator! But I think its worth noting for next year not to use the steep part of the field.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13593902120311572975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36499493.post-32924391027959705452015-05-29T19:50:22.950+01:002015-05-29T19:50:22.950+01:00First time to Ballycotton and it won't be my l...First time to Ballycotton and it won't be my last.

Well done to all who helped push the cars up the hill, not exactly an ideal 'cool-down' activity.<br /><br />Again, a great race, tough but classic course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36499493.post-435630894624393492015-05-29T12:41:48.198+01:002015-05-29T12:41:48.198+01:00Must be the faster runners staying away.

Not sure any of the comments were mad, think people were saying that they would be putting the marathon 1st this year<br /><br />Really enjoyed the race. Some crazy times there.
