In short: Organisation and facilities superb, course and weather made it a hard run.
In full: Listening to the radio station which was at the event whilst driving back to the motorway rounded off a really good day. Too hot and undulating for a PB, but who cares? I got the free eggs and that's more than compensation.

In short: Hills and a PB !!!!
In full: Really enjoyed this one. Thanks to the Geordie bloke that ran from mile 2 to mile 8 with me. As usual I run out of steam at that point !!!!
Great scenery, and the girl in front until I slowed to a plod just added to that! You and your mate, what time did you finish in?
A must for my 2006 diary
