In short: Very well organised. Nice straightforward route.
In full: Surprised to read below that there even was a loud speaker.... Very well organised. Traffic a bit scary at some points - especially after the first turn off the main road. Marshalls very good at getting the cars through the gaps. Choccie at the end a nice touch. Please order better weather next year :o)

In short: Fast and fun
In full: Reasonably fast and fun. The KM markers appeared to be in the wrong places which was frustrating for pacing. Overall well organised and well worth the experience.

In short: I managed to pull a muscle in my back just before the start - but like the fool I am did it anyway! Average race that just lacks a certain something.

In short: Enjoyable
In full: I was impressed with the effort of all the marshalls who stood against the freezing wind to keep us on track. Good fast course, good challenge.

In short: My first race and I loved it. But I couldn't hear anything that was being said over the loudspeaker at the start and just followed the herd when it started to migrate away from the start line. Still great marshalls. Defo do it next year.

In short: The thing that stood out for me as a "first timer" was the encouragement of the Marshalls. I think everyone of them said something positive as I made my way past, which meant alot. Thanks, it's motivated me to enter another one!
