In short: Is it just me that wants the hill back
In full: Enjoyed it again and the rain stopped at the right time. the course change has got a lot of positive feedback but i think it's a pity to see the big challenge removed.
I'll be back ....

In short: Two Loops of Flattish Norfolk Countryside...
In full: I've not done the previous Norwich course, which i'm told did have a "killer" hill.
This course is best described as having the odd undulation and passes through a mix of small villages, countryside and through the Norwich Showground. Well marked on the miles, by the time you're on the 2nd loop you know fully what to expect and can push hard for that PB...
The fact that the rain held off for the race, helps wrap up my happy memories of the day - i'll be back next year.

In full: Big thank you to all the marshalls and the drivers that slowed down and shame on the drivers that thought they were at brans hatch. Thank you to the marshall at 9 miles who put a plaster on my back.

In short: Like-able race but cold cattle sheds for changing rooms
In full: Weather conditions didn't help but race was good, I was on for a PB but my legs had over plans. Car park was very slow to get out off. There were more peolpe supporting than I expected. The changing area was very cold and a distance from the showers.
I would it again just to beat my slow time.

In full: Enjoyable race with good and supportive marshalls. Could have done with more people for chip collection and goody bag area but can't have everything. Well done CONAC I'll be back next year.

In short: Good smallish race
In full: I had a great time and managed a good PB despite lack of training! There could be a bit more support along the way - a band or something be nice to run home to.... but well organised otherwise. Lovely sunshine this year too!! Thanks :-)
