In short: Not quite sure why it didn't quite do it for me...
In full: Odd one this - I had higher expectations, with this being my first GSR. To be honest in many ways it didn't match up to some of the smaller, shorter runs I've done previously. The scenery was Ok but maybe as I'm reasonably local I dont appreciate it as much as i should. It was well organised, didnt encounter any problems, came in by train but could probably have travelled in by car without too many problems. The crowds were patchy but gave good encouragement. I'll probably do it again - depends if anything else is on offer in the weeks either side of this, if there is something else I may well be tempted away.

In short: My first race! Definitely a good one to start on (mostly flat!)

In short: Six mins quicker than my last 10 miler so it must be a pretty fast course.
