We spent a very jolly morning cheering the Oxford half runners and handing out energy gels.

Take aways from the event:

• Red packet energy gels SHOULD be strawberry and NOT apple.
• Glitter makes any running outfit 110% more excellent.
• All runners are epic and inspiring.
• Adding crisps to a sandwich is mandatory behaviour.

Favorite sights: Father Christmas and his reindeer, Mario&Luigi, a 2 person slinky dog and Alice and Ian!

Huge thanks to the whole team but mostly to Muireann for keeping us caffeinated!

Three of us pitched up early on a Sunday to Summertown in the fog to set up and help run water station number 1 at the Oxford Half Marathon.

Skills learnt: how to stack a table 5 layers high of cups. How to pour water whilst simultaneously filling said cups.

We then cheered in the runners and wheelchairs, yelling "PINCH AND SLURP" at intervals and trying to dodge flying water cups and water!

Pack down was efficient and fast - it was like we were never there!!

All the runners looked amazing and we even managed to spot Anwen, Fred and Alice!!
