In short: Well organised good facilities
In full: Well organised, super fast course,nice sweat top, good marshalls great finish. Kind weather
even course direction means you never run directly into prevailing westerly wind! Start a bit congested, couldn't hear the starter. Hope to be back next year.

In short: 2008 BM was everything I was promised and more, from this special race
In full: Wonderful marshalls, pancake flatness, great club atmosphere from the locals, 3 mins off my PB, despite the strong winds.
Racing doesn't come any better than this (apart from chip timing, which would be a little overkill)

In full: As always, the competitors and marshals were all very friendly. The sweatshirt is more than worth the entry fee. Only wish there were more entries to help guarantee a start next year!
