In short: Friendly fast race around outer London

In short: Was my first ever 10K last year, 3 mins quicker this year. Yippee!
In full: Bloody freezing at the start but once we all got going it was OK, first 6K were lovely to run but the last 4 to the finish and especially the last section past the roadworks were hard work.
Well organised, a good event.

In short: I love running in the rain
In full: Definitely better than the howling freezing wind last year! I really enjoyed this race this year. Fast course, feels more down hill than up although the last three kilometres can be challenging with tired legs.
Tee-shirt great this year. Joining instructions said no water station so the inclusion of one was a nice surprise. Lots of very friendly cheery soaking wet marshalls, the whole thing was a pleasant experience all round, will do this one again.

In short: Surprisingly quick
In full: I'd been told that this wasn't a particularly quick course but found otherwise. Very well marshalled with the exception of one roundabout just after the water stop which didn't have one and should have done.
Well done 26.2
