The RUN is on: 30 minutes after the start

A large field is on it’s way now. As far as we know the Dutch team was complete; participation of Tom Hendriks was uncertain because of intestinal problems. Although the weather is mainly overcast, sunny spells are becoming more frequent. And the temperature during those sunny intervals rises rapidly. Too fast a start in these conditions could well turn out to be suicidal. A world record is extremely unlikely.
