In short: Enjoyable race and a great course
In full: I enjoyed running this a lot, it was a well-designed and scenic route. One minor criticism is the lack of car park marshalls - there seemed to be a lot of frantic (and potentially dangerous) last minute looking for spaces. Apart from that, an excellent race.

In short: course is 2 laps around a mix between parkland surrounding the river trent and urban roads a nice run.
In full: the hill between 2 and 3 miles is long enough on the first lap, on the second it becomes quite tough, still what goes up must come down, the marshalls were great standing in front of traffic so we could cross roads etc. The only disappointing thing was the lack of local support, wouldn't stop me from doing it again though. see you next year.
