In short: My first race, shame about the wind!
In full: This was my first race and the course is quite good, there are a couple of challenging hills!
Would be better if the traffic could have been stopped on some more of the roads.

In full: 1st Time for this one. Would pay extra for chip timing as I was near the back at the start. Course is great. Will fantastic support and great marshals.

In short: 6th Running, Love it.
In full: My 6th running of the race that started it all off for me - Ran a massive PB of 39.11 so chuffed to bits - a hard wind today but clockwork organisation. I'd pay a little more for chip timing, but a great event.

In short: As good as ever
In full: My 5th time I think running this one, and it was just as good as it ever was. My only minor gripe would be the incorrectly placed 4k marker - I'll bet the instructions said to put it on the junction, and they did, but one junction too early! Apart from that everything went really smoothly. Pity about the heat and the wind that I think was even stronger than last year, as on the right day this course definitely has potential to be a fast one. Thank you Reading Road Runners - see you next year.

In short: My first ever race so chuffed to bits - lovely to have the support on the way round.
In full: Came up a bit short on my Gramin too - not that I mind right now!

In short: Windy, Hot, ... but short on my Garmin?!!
In full: I decided to enter Shinfield 10K on the day and found it to be friendly, well-organised and with plenty of marshalls to help on the course. It was quite hot and windy out there but a reasonably fast course with just a few bumps meant it passed without incident.
I have to question the distance though, as it came up short on my Garmin.
