In short: Marashals- fantastic. You did a great job and offered encourangement when it was needed. Well done.
In full: Well, enjoyed the race but please, this is NOT a flat race. It's not quite the Himilayas but it is playfully uphill in places (although the last mile down hill was an absoulte treat!). It was a bit difficult along the main road to Amersham where you had to fight traffic for right of way to overtake runners and I admit at this point I was glad of my ipod to keep off the noise. But well done to the organisers and I look forward to trying to improve my time in 2006.

In short: Good solid run, nice course
In full: First time I have run this race and I did enjoy myslef. Only thing that let it down was the first water point - had to queue to get a glass of water.

In short: My favourite race
In full: This is my all time favourite race. Lovely scenery, nice cup of tea in the club beforehand and a chance to read the Sunday papers. It's a really friendly and relaxed race and I got a PB!

...and don't you just love that final 1 mile to the finish; downhill all the way.

Thanks to the marshalls [and the police] and the band, for making this a truly memorable race.
