CHAMPIONSHIP INTERVIEW
With David Hellard and Oliver Thwaites of first place HELLard CAN ThWAITes

Have you ever participated in a GUR before?

No, but coming from the west country, we are GUR Lush.

How did you prepare for the race?

Ollie- carefully planned tapering (2 weeks of no running!), pasta the night before (with wine), no sleep…in other words, total dedication.

David- Threw a dinner party for 10 last night, carbo loaded with lots of wine. I’ve been sleeping rough since my girlfriend kicked me out, so I’ve gotten a really good feel for the streets.

What was your overall race strategy?

Photo challenge. We found them en route, run til you hurt, then flirt!

Did anything go wrong during the race?

Nothing major, although some tourists struggled with the camera. Could have saved a few minutes not taking the bus.

What was the most memorable part of the day? Seeing the team dressed as robbers running towards the police in Hyde Park to go and high five them for one of the clues.
