In short: Excellent
In full: Superbly organised, great scenery and a lovely off-road course.
Have done this the last 4 years and this was the best so far. Congratulations to all those involved.
If you haven't run this give it a go. You won't be disappointed.
Will be back next year.

In short: Great fun well organised race - just the right size!
In full: My first time at Llanelli and I was pleasantly surprised. Brilliant access to the start / finish, (100 metres from car park) made things easy for the 1500 or-so of us.
The (chip-timed) route follows 2 out-and-back loops along the coast from the Start/Finish area which keeps things interesting. Some mild undulations, but otherwise a pretty flat and fast course. Crowd support was sparse along the course, but welcoming and plentiful at the finish...
Water was plentiful, paperweight / beanie hat at the finish better than a medal IMHO.
No real bad points, if I had to improve anything then maybe a sports / recovery drink / banana at the finish?

In short: Back to brilliance
In full: Problems corrected from last year ... so this is again an event to enter. Fantastic marshals, mementos great value for money - especially against Bath and others which are almost twice the cost ;)
The weather held good and I loved the earlier start - not so much traffic and able to get home in time for Sunday dinner.
Will be back next year
Many thanks to the organisers
