In short: What was my time?
In full: Very flat course. very good for a PB attempt. The start was packed and it took a few minutes to find some space and run at my own speed. The tight corners at each end of the course were very slippy due to the light rain. The worst part of this, in my mind, was the absense of a clock at the start/finish!!!

In short: As only my 2nd 10K ever I was one of the last finishers, so I was v disappointed to find the far-end water station was closed when I passeed

In short: Lacked atmosphere, dull course. overly congested start line - times poorly monitered. very few marshalls.
In full: Whilst I appreciate that the race didn't need too many marshals for safety as it was traffic free - it would've been good to have people providing some sort of support and atmosphere. The course was very flat, so great for a PB, but repetitive. To be fair, the nasty weather didn't help the organisers - it was very exposed to the wind and rain.

In short: This race seemed very dull to me like a sterile time trial
In full: I also felt that at some of the turning point there were not enough marshals, infact I think there were only 4 marshals for the whole race. If you are out for a PB time trial then worth doing but for race atmosphere go some where else. I would be as strong to say this is my least favourite race.

In short: My First 10km and really enjoyed it, even though it was a double lap of the lake, you knew what to expect 2nd time round so you could push yourself. Only bad point is the late people registering on the day holding up the start time, but apart
In full: from that well organised. would do again..
