In short: Good Course, Well Organised, Long walk from finish.
In full: The course wasn't easy, but then again when is 20 miles!! Really could have done without a long walk back from the finish and some showers would have been good.

Would have liked something a little more exciting in the goody bag. The Freddy the frog chocolate was an unusual choice!! Still he dog enjoyed playing with the big red sausage thing, until he burst it! (What was that?) A bit of fruit would have been better.

Well one Wymondham for a well organised race.

In short: Tough, but well measured and well marshalled. Walk back not so goodd
In full: This was a really well marshalled course, and the mile markers were spot on with my Garmin Forerunner. Weather not so good, but there again that is not the fault of the organisers :-) Route was a nice varied run. The only down side was the walk back to the start....and without any directions. As I don't know Wymondham I got lost and walked further...not what I needed after 20 miles of running. A great event and training for any marathon that is coming up. Would recommend to others doing a spring marathon.

In short: a few bumps along the way (not flat!) but a good course, and plenty of potential for a good time, if there isn't a strong wind like in 2009!
