In short: Quick, quick, quick
In full: Quick race and achieved a very good time and PB (42.03)

A few more loos may have helped the race start on time!!

As for the organic fruit bar in the goodie bag. Yuuuuuk

In short: +ve: Very fast course, pleasant looking park, good atmosphere. -ve: 10 min delay due to lack of toilets, 2 laps so had to weave through backmarkers towards end and horrendous tasting organic fruit bar in goodie bag!

In short: Acheived P.B - not so well organised
In full: Great run for a potential P.B but not enough loos held the race up for 10mins and we were hanging around at the finish to collect our water. Both these delays meant we got cold!

In short: Seemed quite a popular run, with a better route than before
In full: Many more runners doing this one than a couple of years ago. Quite liked it, although frustrated at the slow start and could have done with pacing start times (narrow paths made it difficult to run around walkers who made sure they were at the front!).

In short: Excellent atmosphere and very well organised
In full: New 2 lap route better and more senic than the 3 lap route.
