In short: Lovely stuff
In full: A "marquee" event on the Kent race calendar, this was my first "TWHM" and I am sure it won't be my last - it has a big race feel to it, from Dame Kelly Holmes starting the race to the high quality medal and technical t-shirt at the end of it - not to forget the race in the middle. Not necessarily a PB course, but a decent course with great support from the locals.

In short: Great race
In full: My fourth year in a row, another excellently organised event. Thanks to all marshalls and volunteers. I thought the marshalls on the toilet queues were brilliant. There's last minute queues at every event - get there earlier instead of moaning! I guess separate water supplies at the finish would be a good idea.
