In short: Wonderful scenery and gloriously flat - fantastic for my first half!
In full: Really enjoyed my first half marathon at Lake Vyrnwy. The weather was perfect, the course was almost totally flat (with an incline that I didn't notice in the first mile but that I really enjoyed coming back down in the last mile!). The organisation was great and the home-made sandwiches and cakes at the finish were very welcome.

In short: My fave half marathon event
In full: Perfect weather, cloud cover, 18C, gentle breeze. Good spectator support in the first and last miles. Am I the only finisher who didn't get socks in the goody bag?
