In short: Another great WAC Race.
In full: Great organisation, fab' marshalls as usual, (nice to finish on someone's front lawn!), and predominantly nice country roads which made it a pleasure. One of the best local races of the year but I would have loved a medal for my 1st 20 miler!... (Well done smudger and natalie!)

In short: Why-oh-why do we have that mini-roundabout????
In full: Poor marshalls standing out in that lot! At least we could keep warm running. Monotonous course with nothing to look at. Wish I had run with stereo on. Felt sorry for thew first-time runners who were struggling. Why were the numbers so low with such a large catchment area? Perhaps the entire nation is just becoming more unfit.
Race well organised and marshalls were brilliant (except for the last half-mile when it wasn't obvious where to go!)
Next year? The Ten Miler may be a better choice for me as I have now done the 20 twice and didn't really enjoy them. Sorry.

In short: Excellent - an essential race to sharpen you for a spring marathon
In full: This is always a cracking race. Bit windy this year but it adds to the spice. Very well organised as usual but who marked the course out? The mile markers were so inaccurate it was untrue.

In short: A good pre London outing. Will tell you if your training is going to plan.
In full: A course around quiet country roads. Mildly challenging enough to test your stamina for London. Very open in places so there is no respite from the weather. Big thanks to the marshalls this year who had to stand out in the strong winds this year. A well organised and run event.
