Thanks to all involved for making the Stoney Half such an enjoyable experience despite the heat! It was my first half-m and I thoroughly appreciated the efficiency, friendliness and encouragement of all involved - the marshalls, police, first-aiders, water station attendees, and any other volunteers I've forgotten to mention, as well as the Stonehaven locals who cheered us on the way past. Special thanks to the two ladies who gave me directions to Mineralwell Park early in the morning, who recognised me later on during the race. You've all left me with a very favourable impression of Stonehaven - I will be back!
