In short: Great Race!
In full: As my first 10 mile race (and second ever race), and first time I've run 10 miles in my life, was always going to get a PB. Having not trained for about 6 weeks beforehand due to an injury, wasnt expecting a great time. But finished in 1hr23m44s - was well happy with that! Really enjoyed it, gonna try to do the North-South combo next year!

In short: Bracing sea breeze but flat and fast
In full: Cracking last mile to the line along promenade. Good supprters. Only complaint not to do with race organisers but sheer volume of traffic into Southsea. public transport next year...

In short: great geting into the city BUT better directions out to the motorways would have helped.
