In short: Brill event esp course, views, pit-stops, hand-outs, showers, lunch
In full: Great to have shower & lunch before leaving.
I would highly recommend this event.
It should receive greater acclaim.
Really trivial quibbles:
no coffee at start
need 1 or 2 more signs (for confidence)
showers need de-scaling
But I would still rate this event 99% ! :)
Well done and thank you,
all organisers and marshals !
See you next year.
ps surprised so many shirts left over ?

In short: Superb but their taking the p*ss with the final climb (well death walk)
In full: Brilliant, great venue at the school, friendly organisers - great to sing the national anthem (and its not even mine!)- brilliant momentos, wonderful scenery and astonishingly tough in places.

In short: What a great race!
In full: Fantastic day, challenging run, superb views and wasn't the weather perfect? I rated this as a PB dead cert as it was my first half - and what a memorable one. The fry up after was a genius of an idea. Organisation was typically spot on for a Trionium event and all the marshalls were very encouraging. I'll definitely be back next year.

In short: Everything a race should be!
In full: Hard but enjoyable, great atmosphere, super Race HQ set up for a race of its size. I did this race as a marathon warm-up but it just might become the focal point of my winter training in years to come.

In short: My legs are shot and I ache but, boy, was it worth it!
In full: This has to be one of the friendliest races I've ever done as well as one of the toughest. Well marshalled, incredible views (esp. at the 1/2-way point, and sweets, carrots, jaffa cakes and a fry up for the post race munchies (hot showers also). Nice medal and a decent tee, and I like the memento. Hats off to Dr. Rob for a fantastic race! If the rest of the Trionium races as good as this, I'm almost tempted to do the Picnic.

In short: Leithal but lovely
In full: Just as good as last year, the loss of the maltesers balanced by the lack of hail. Many thanks to all for a great event.
