In full: 209 really seem to have turned this race around from last year. The organisation was really good, the marshalls did their jobs and the course was nice. Shame about the traffic in the middle of town but what can you do?

In short: Much improved course and far better organised than last year. Well worth doing
In full: This race was highly critised last year, mostly deservedly so, but 209 took this on board and came back with a much better race. The course was better, there was plenty of water and the organisation was good. Would have preferred the final drinks station to have been slightly earlier but that's a minor point. Thank you to all the marshals and supporters along the way. All in all, very happy with the race.
