In short: Great race, one or two improvements and it would be an Excellent race
In full: Good race but one or two quibbles that if acted upon would take it to next level:
Start - didn't hear a gun - just saw people running so thought better get moving
Medics - not many on view over course
Traffic and pedestrians - one idiot in car at Linstock and dog walkers 3 deep on decent of Stanwix Bank caused a bit of an obstacle
A few things that could be sorted - other than that great race, through beautiful rural countryside...give it a go

In short: Another great race - thoroughly enjoyed it!
In full: The race and the course itself were fab - friendly marshalls, plenty of water stations, well mapped out route, glorious weather, pretty scenery.
Now the moaning bit - start was a bit of a shambles, however to be fair the complaints from last year had obviously been taken on board and had tried to be eradicated with limited success - the long walk to the start and double lap of Bitts park seems to be the problem. Also baggage storage - where was it? I got a lot of misinformation from a steward doling out numbers for changing areas. Liked the glass momento but a medal would have been nice - i can't hang up a glass paperweight!
