are u talking about the run or Mtb starting earlier. as far as i know the Mtb was delayed and started 10mins later But to have the run and ride on the same track was Really not a good idea underfoot for the runners was not good one lady missed a step and i nearly took her home not fare for her to be running with her back to bikes come from behind very uncool at the start they said look for the BLACK ARROWS the last three kms only had RED Arrows so go figure
