In short: Very good race
In full: Course was very good, not too taxing with gentle hills. Organisation was good and facilites were adequate enough with ample catering. Can't complain about the weather as it was far worse and variable running around Silverstone in March. On the negative side it has to be the first race I've ran where there was no water available afterwards unless of course I'm mistaken. Not convinced its value for money as for £2 more the Silverstone Half has the t-shirt included and they send out the chip and race number to you before race. I really didn't see why you'd want to make a special trip the day before to pick up your number and chip. An inside source tells me it wasn't that popular an option anyway. Not the first time I've encountered this, but somebody manning a water station was not paying enough attention although they fared worse in that. You'd think holding a cup out at arms length would be simple?! Having said that thanks go to the organisers and helpers and the marshalls for their support in miserable conditions. Overall, a very good race and would definitely do it again.

In short: Excellent race, Weather stopped a PB
In full: Excellent race, Weather stopped a PB, although it was my second best time (And fastest of 3 visits to Norwich)
