In short: 3 lap course of circuit so pretty dull but PB potential if it wasn't for the wind
In full: Quite a bottle-neck in getting race number and chip - could have done with more people doing this. And more loos required - there are lots there but the majority were locked up!

Sweets at finish were a nice touch and well done to race director for starting race slightly early so we didn't get too cold / wet!

In short: Well organised, nice surface to run on, a shame that the wind was belting down the back straight. If only the organisers could have sorted that out......

In short: Very enjoyable race
In full: Travelled down from Nottinghamshire for this race and it was worth the 6 hours (total) in the car.

I'll be racing again in November.

Despite the wind on the back straight,I was 1 second off my PB time (having had a lack of training over the last month). November will see me beat my time, I'm sure of it.
