In full: My performance was bobbins but this is still a good race. Not really got any criticisms, just some feedback; maybe try and stretch out the predicted finish time markers ath the start. It was a little claustraphobic until you got onto the road.

In full: Thanks to everyone for all the hard work that must've gone into this. It was all really well organised - the car-parking, signs to toilets, etc. The sandwiches and flapjack, and even fruit teas at the end were perfect!And thanks to all the marshalls who kept cheering and shouting encouragement.
