In short: 'The Sadist' Dr Rob does it again!!!
In full: Terrific race - wish I was a bit fitter as I knew I needed to go slow on frst half! MUST be the best half-way point to any half-marathon in the UK.
That last hill was an absolute killer.
Smashing momento and t-shrt and the cooked breakfast was absolute genious.
Well done to all the marshalls, and Dr Rob in particular - oh, and LOVE the National Anthem at the start!!!

In short: Fantastic race
In full: Counted this as a training run rather than a race in preparation for FLM. 13 miles of uphill/downhill and uneven ground I'm sure counts for more. Very well organised, good atmosphere and beautiful views of Surrey. It is a bit pricey compared to other races but you get a very good techy T-shirt, lovely paper weight, lunch included and a proportion of money to charity so overall makes a good day out. The marshalls and other competitors that pass on the there/back make it a very friendly and supportive race. Same again next year please Rob

In short: I knew what to expect from doing the Tanners 30 almost every Jully and it didn't disappoint - I felt like a Chelsea supporter after yesterday's defeat at Barnsley
In full: For anyone who has done the Tanners 30 over the Surrey Hills (first Sunday in July, see the LDWA website), you know what to expect. For every up there's a down - a long trudge up to the turning point on Leith Hill and its glorious views and then the predominantly downhill return back to Dorking with the final killer hill towards The Nower. Marshals in all the right places, I didn't get lost. Well organised from this punter's standpoint.
