In short: Well-organised fast course in
In full: Once you get your head around the fact that it's not in Headington and not even in Oxfordshire, this race offers PB potential if the weather aligns. It did today. Very well organised, the km markers were spot-on in the right positions, and a box of chocs at the end makes a nice change from a medal. One for people that want a shot at their PB and don't mind slightly barren airfield surroundings.

In short: I do not believe it
In full: A good local 10K. I did the race last year so I knew what to expect. It did what it said on the side of the tin. Yet again the long drag back onto the airfield between 7k to 9k into the wind finished off a promising PB. I thought lightning could not strike twice. However not the fault of the race organisers and on the whole another success.
